For Immediate Release

Cristina Rodriguez is joining A Public Space as Marketing and Sales Director. Starting March 1, 2021, Rodriguez will oversee marketing for the literary and arts magazine A Public Space and A Public Space Books.

“I’m thrilled to build on A Public Space’s remarkable legacy and share it with a growing community of readers and booksellers,” said Rodriguez. “My bookselling career has always been dedicated to championing new voices and distinctive titles and I cannot wait to continue this important work with A Public Space.” A 2020 Publishers Weekly Star Watch Honoree, Bookselling Without Borders Fellow, and member of the American Book Association Advisory Council, Rodriguez since 2017 has worked at Deep Vellum Bookstore in Dallas.

The book will publish this spring, along with a second book-club reading of War and Peace with Yiyun Li. Rodriguez will also work on A Public Space's ongoing series of virtual book clubs, #APStogether.
