The Rocky Mountain News reports that Tattered Cover owner Joyce Meskis will take over as director of the University of Denver Publishing Institute in January, succeeding founding director Elizabeth Geiser, who is retiring after 32 years. The four-week summer program is an intensive, graduate- level course designed to prepare students for careers in all aspects of book publishing. “It’s certainly an exciting challenge, and it dovetails nicely with everything we’re doing there at the Tattered Cover,” Meskis said.
