Goodbye Gina!

Today is the last day for senior copywriter Gina Sigillito. She is moving on to bigger and better things at another great publisher.

Not only did Gina do stellar work on catalog copy, book jackets, and press releases [I have never been so excited by human resources ;)], but she is a fantastic author. She has written The Wisdom of the Celts, a guide to the contributions of the Celtic people to Western culture, and The Daughters of Maeve, a look at the extraordinary achievements of Irish women.

Visit Gina’s website here and you can listen to an interview with Gina on Radio Irish here:

We’ll miss you Gina!
