former partner at Menaker & Herrmann, where she focused on intellectual
property issues and litigating copyright and trademark cases. Davis is also an
award-winning playwright. She says in the announcement, "This job is

my fellow authors and advocate for their rights."

Walker picture book publisher Deirdre McDermott said, "She enthused those of us who were privileged enough to have worked alongside her with her energy, her humor (she really loved to laugh — which she did often and loudly), and her sharing, inclusive nature. We learned everything about typography and great picture book illustration from Amelia. She used to say that she was 'in charge of the white space.' Amelia was the most generous mentor and friend."
