The Team

PUBLISHER

Holly Thesieres Monteith is founder and publisher of Cynren Press. She oversees all aspects of the publishing process, including acquisitions, editorial development, design, production, marketing, and distribution.

She founded Cynren Press in 2017 out of a deep love for books, history, and the ways humans try—often imperfectly—to understand themselves and one another. She holds a BA from the Writing Seminars at Johns Hopkins University, an MA in linguistics from Rice University, and a second MA in communication from Johns Hopkins. Before launching Cynren, she worked as an editor and page designer for a scientific society and several university presses.
