John Atkinson
John's career in academic/educational publishing extends across the spectrum from one of the biggest firms - first job, Simon & Schuster Academic - to the smallest - his own, Auteur, no. of employees: 1 - which was acquired by Liverpool University Press, and him with it, in 2020. He has been his own Commissioning Editor, Sales & Marketing Manager, Production Manager and reluctant Finance Director, all of which stand him in good stead for his current role as Manager of pioneering Open Access publisher, University of Westminster Press, in which capacity he also sits on the OIPA (Open Institutional Publishing Association) Committee. Do not get him started on Bruce Springsteen.
