Staff Directory

Because staff are working entirely remotely, unmonitored phone lines have been suspended. Email is the best way to contact any staff member, but if you do wish to leave a voicemail for a staff member whose phone number is not shown, please call the Press's main number (734-764-4388) and your voice message will be forwarded to the appropriate person.
