The Brooklyn 100: Lisa Lucas, National Book Foundation

The book world rose up in a chorus of celebration when Lisa Lucas, formerly the publisher of Guernica, was appointed executive director of the National Book Foundation. At the helm of the 30-year-old organization, she plans to expand its efforts towards inclusivity and advocacy. “Readers are everything,” she recently told the New York Times, “readers are everyone.”
You just accepted a new job! What do you hope to accomplish at the National Book Foundation?
I love the work
