I did want to take just a moment to come up for some air and write a quick post to let you know I am alive and well, and rushing to get up to speed on “everything Wiley EMEA.”  Much more soon.

I will be taking a new position at Wiley, serving as the Associate Publisher of Technology for Wiley’s EMEA Group  beginning July 1.  I will be based in the US, but will have an office at our UK division located in Chichester to which I will travel frequently in addition to some assorted European travel over the course of the year.

It’s an exciting opportunity for me, and gives me a chance to continue to learn and grow and hopefully try some new and innovative things – as well as finally meet some of my authors located outside of the US.

It also puts me in a unique position for some changes in this blog, as I will be learning first hand about publishing in other parts of the world, and I’ll be sharing that with you.

So it’s all very new and exciting, and a little scary at the same time, but I’m definitely ready for a new challenge – wish me luck.

What advice do you have for changing roles within an organization?  Share your stories in the Comments.
