Cockrel, Gombis Join Eerdmans
Wm. Eerdmans Publishing announced new hires Lisa Ann Cockrel to acquisitions editor and Sarah Gombis to director of marketing.
Cockrel, who will focus on trade books, including literary nonfiction, brings over 20 years of experience to Eerdmans from roles at companies including Christianity Today, Festival of Faith & Writing, Brazos, and Baker Academic. She most recently served as director of programs at Image Journal.
“At Eerdmans I’ve encountered a fiercely independent ethos that is dedicated to its authors and willing to take chances on excellent books that might upset expectations,” Cockrel said in a statement.
Gombis joins Eerdmans from Baker Academic where she served as marketing manager. She also brings experience from Zondervan Academic.
