Alice James BooksOssmann was executive director of Alice James Books from 2000–2008, presiding over a period of growth that, according to Poets & Writers, saw the press budget more than double in size,[5] and saw the publication of the best-selling Here, Bullet, by Brian Turner, which garnered major media attention.[6][7][8][9] According to Publishers Weekly, which interviewed Ossmann on the occasion of Alice James Books’ thirtieth anniversary, "the press received a three-year, $250,000 stabilization grant from an anonymous donor...With the grant, the press added two full-time staffers, upgraded its equipment, and launched a website with secure online ordering. The press also signed with a trade distributor for the first time, Consortium Book Sales & Distribution."[10] According to Valley News (West Lebanon, NH) reporter Kristen Fountain, “It was an all-consuming, life-changing position, during which she stabilized the company's financial structure, increased its output and helped push its books into the national press.”[11] TeachingOssmann has taught literature and creative writing at the University of Maine at Farmington and at Lebanon College,[12] and has performed at Stonecoast MFA Program in Creative Writing residencies and the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference[13] as a visiting publisher.
