Donna Crilly is a Senior Academic Editor at Paulist Press. She possess expertise in publishing, books, editing. Colleagues describe her as "Donna and I were members of the LTP Management team together. I found her to be responsive to requests and concerns, and she greatly enhanced our knowledge base. Her direct reports benefited from her management style and she mentored each well. When our departments worked together, I found Donna to be accommodating, while keeping an eye on her own department's priorities. Overall, a real keeper. I know her family is back east, and her mother needs her there, but LTP, and myself, are sad to lose such a great team player!" and "Donna is a consummate team player who sees what needs to be done and pitches in to do it. She assesses situations quickly and communicates effectively, both in her initial evaluations and in her on-going status reports. As a project manager, she is meticulous with both schedules and budgets, even in situations where those two priorities are in conflict. Donna's people skills make her a positive addition to any team. As a colleague, she is perceptive and dynamic; working with authors and vendors, she shows rare delicacy in soothing difficult personalities and coaxing them to do their best work. Most of all, Donna's maturity of judgment and cool competence bring a much-needed calm to working in the often frantic, deadline-driven world of publishing."
