Effective June 1, Michael Link, director of book strategy and experience at Joseph-Beth Booksellers, Cincinnati, Ohio, is leaving after 14 years at the bookseller to join WordPlay Cincy in the newly created role of chief storyteller.
Link has been involved with WordPlay Cincy, a creative writing & arts organization, since before it opened its doors. He called it "a difficult decision to leaving bookselling" after 20 years, but said he is "excited by this new opportunity and certainly hope that you will visit when you are around... I will miss working with you all and look forward to seeing you at the Carla Gray Memorial Horse Congress and Karaoke Throwdown when Winter Institute comes to Cincinnati," scheduled for February 13-16, 2022. Link can be reached via e-mail.
He added that at Joseph-Beth, Erin Caudill will lead the book team, and Hilary Mahadevan will oversee the events program. "I will still be hosting the occasional event and helping out during the transition."
