- Q19881764 abstract "Robert Weil is the Editor-in-Chief and Publishing Director of Liveright, a newly relaunched division of W.W. Norton & Company. Over the course of his career, “Weil has published six National Book Award winners and three National Book Award finalists. He's published sixteen Pulitzer Prize winners (Michael Dirda, N. Scott Momaday, and Tina Rosenberg among them); seven Bancroft history prize winners; [and] seven MacArthur fellowship winners.”Weil graduated from Yale College with a B.A. in History in 1977 and originally considered teaching high school before beginning his publishing career with Times Books in 1978 as an Editorial Assistant. Two and a half years later he moved to the former Omni Magazine. With Omni Magazine he introduced a book division and packaged and agented science books to publishers before becoming Senior Editor at St. Martin’s Press in 1988, a division of Macmillan Publishers. Weil’s acquisitions ran the gamut and he had many notable commissions: Michael Wallis’s bestselling Route 66 (which helped launch a national road movement), Henry Roth’s tetralogy of novels called The Mercy of a Rude Stream, Oliver Stone’s autobiographical novel, A Child’s Night Dream, and John Bayley’s Elegy for Iris (a New York Times bestseller as well as an Academy-Award winning film starring Judi Dench). In 1998, Weil moved to W.W. Norton & Company as an Executive Editor and his authors in non-fiction have included Annette Gordon-Reed, George F. Kennan, Danielle Allen, E. O. Wilson, David Levering Lewis, Placido Domingo, Amartya Sen, Jan Morris, Martin Gardner, Peter Gay, Nadine Gordimer, Edmund S. Morgan, Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and Anthony Appiah. His authors in fiction, poetry, and translation have included Primo Levi, J. G. Ballard, Patricia Highsmith, Jerome Charyn, Isaac Babel, Paul McCartney, John Ashbery, and Simon Armitage; while his graphic authors have included Will Eisner, Robert Crumb, David Small, and Jules Feiffer.In 2011, Weil was named the Editor-in-Chief and Publishing Director of Liveright Publishing Corporation. Books published by Weil for the Liveright list include, Jim Holt’s Why Does the World Exist, George Orwell’s Diaries, Max Boot’s Invisible Armies, Jules Feiffer's Kill My Mother (all of which were reviewed on the front page of the New York Times Book Review review), as well as Gail Collins’ As Texas Goes, E. O. Wilson’s The Social Conquest of Earth and The Meaning of Existence (National Book Award Finalist), Michael Gorra’s Portrait of a Novel (Pulitzer finalist) and Allan Gurganus’ Local Souls.Beyond editing, Weil frequently lectures on writing, publishing history, and the state of American culture and literature. He has spoken over the last few years in Munich, Guadalajara, Miami, Chicago, Yale University, Vanderbilt University, and the University of Nebraska, among others. He has also written on books and publishing for various publications including The Washington Post and ArtForum.
