Craig Popelars has joined Milkweed Editions in the newly created role of v-p, sales & marketing. He was formerly publisher of Tin House Books, which he joined in 2019, and earlier was associate publisher of Algonquin Books, where he worked for 25 years. During his career, Popelars has helped launch and promote many bestselling and critically acclaimed works by authors such as Morgan Talty, Hanif Abdurraqib, Ross Gay, and Julia Alvarez.
Daniel Slager, publisher and CEO of Milkweed, said, "We are thrilled to welcome Craig to the Milkweed team. We've had some wind in our sails in the marketplace over the last few years, and we are all very excited to build on it."
Popelars commented, "I've admired Milkweed's storied publishing program ever since I wrote my very first bookstore shelf-talker for Larry Watson's Montana 1948 way back in 1993. I'm both honored and excited to join an indie program that's dedicated to publishing such important, engaging, and inspiring books and authors."
