Devon Lord

(Posted on Thursday, February 5, 2026)

Devon Lord is an experienced editor who turned her curiosity and love of history into a career guiding authors as they tell their own stories. Since 2013, she has worked hand-in-hand with creators to develop, edit, and publish books in a variety of genres, including trade and academic nonfiction, literary fiction, children’s books, and photography. Previously, she worked for the University of Louisiana at Lafayette Press and Gibbs Smith Publisher in Salt Lake City, Utah, as well as the State Department and Smithsonian in Washington, DC. She earned an MA from Georgetown University and a BA from the University of Texas.

Having moved (almost) from coast to coast, she now calls Destin, Florida, home, where you can find her reading, sewing, and walking her dogs on the beach.
