Westminster John Knox Press (WJK) Executive Editor Stephanie Egnotovich died April 13 in Arlington, Va., after a brief illness.
Egnotovich, who had worked for WJK since 1992, “was the consummate editor and a tireless advocate for her authors," said David Dobson, editorial director for WJK. “She had a tremendous combination of gifts: the ability to tease out the possibilities in the germ of an idea, a superb gift for the language, a knowledge of the academic and publishing fields that ran both deep and wide, and a wonderful sense of humor and wit. Above all, she was a joy to be around."
Before coming to WJK, the academic publishing arm of the Presbyterian Publishing Corporation, Egnotovich was managing editor for Fortress Press and senior editor for Pilgrim Press. She also served as vice president for Publisher's WorkGroup.
Egnotovich is survived by her two sons, two daughters-in-law and five grandchildren as well as two brothers and sister.
