David G. Nicholls Joins Georgetown University Press as Georgetown 
Languages Acquisitions Editor

WASHINGTON D.C.--Georgetown University Press is pleased to 
announce the appointment of Dr. David G. Nicholls as acquisitions 
editor for its Georgetown Languages division. Dr. Nicholls brings many 
years of publishing experience to Georgetown and will work closely 
with the Georgetown Languages team to acquire multimedia foreign 
language learning materials, linguistics texts, and reference materials. 
''We are delighted and honored that David Nicholls is joining our 
publishing program,'' said Richard Brown, director of Georgetown 
University Press. ''His expertise in languages and linguistics will be a 
critical asset as we expand our presence in these fields.''

Dr. Nicholls most recently spent ten years at the Modern Language 
Association as its Director of Book Publications.In addition to his work 
acquiring and developing books that support the professional work of 
teachers and scholars of language and literature, he also spearheaded 
the conversion of the MLA's major reference book--MLA Handbook for 
Writers of Research Papers and Literary Research Guide--into award-
winning digital publications. No stranger to the university press world, 
Dr. Nicholls has served on committees of the Association of American 
University Presses and has published two books with the University of 
Michigan Press (Conjuring the Folk and Harlem Calling). In addition he 
is currently a member of the Association of American Publishers' Books 
Committee. ''I've long admired Georgetown University Press's many 
publications in languages and linguistics, and I'm eager to help develop 
an expanded set of offerings in the Languages program,'' Nicholls said. 
''It is heartening that the press is poised for growth in this vital area of 
teaching and scholarship.''

Georgetown Languages at Georgetown University Press is a 
collaboration of language experts and publishing professionals to 
produce high quality language learning resource materials in traditional 
and new learning media. Working with the academic community to 
develop foreign language learning materials grounded in superior 
scholarship and experienced pedagogy, we publish in critical as well as 
commonly taught languages in print and electronic formats, primarily for 
college, high school, and adult learners.

Georgetown University by publishing scholarly books and journals for a 
diverse, worldwide readership. These publications, written by an 
international group of authors representing a broad range of 
intellectual perspectives, focus on five subjects: bioethics; international 
affairs; languages; political science, public policy, & public 
management; and religion & ethics.
