What We’re Reading Wednesday

Happy Wednesday, folks! And happy birthday to me. Shameless birthday promotion. I can’t help it; I love birthdays!

Cyber Monday Hits the Books

I don’t do Black Friday. This might come as a shock to anyone who knows me, because if bargain shopping were a sport, well…let’s just say I’m the Hawks in The Mighty Ducks. Before they get schooled by Emilio’s scrappy kids from District 5, of course. I prefer TJ Maxx to Bloomingdale’s any day of […]

Professionally, we celebrate four New York Times, Wall Street Journal and/or USA Today bestsellers, a promotion and two fantastic additions to our team.

Teen Readers: Not the Minority They Are Thought to Be

What follows is a guest post by Kate Henricks, a high school senior, swim team co-captain and avid teen reader. I have always believed in the significance of books. Maybe growing up the daughter of both a book publicist and a journalist/author has given me a skewed viewpoint, but reading has always seemed pretty darn […]

Giving Credit where it is Due

I learned much at the hands of my former boss, Lynn Goldberg, a legendary woman in publishing who was far more than a boss to me – she was part mother/part mentor/part friend. A key lesson she imparted during the decade I spent working for her was the gracious way to give credit where it […]
