Marysue Rucci will return to Simon & Schuster as vp, editor-in-chief on April 2. She was most recently editorial director at Putnam and originally worked at S&S from 1997 through 2010. “Marysue will be the leader and architect of Simon & Schuster’s fiction list,” said publisher Jonathan Karp in a statement. “She will supervise all our fiction acquisitions, build her own list of authors–both novelists and nonfiction writers–and provide counsel to our editors. Under her guidance we expect to be an industry leader, publishing novels of the highest quality and the greatest appeal. We are all delighted that Marysue is returning to Simon & Schuster and that she will now have a greater role in the management of the imprint.”

At Harlequin, Elizabeth Mazer has been promoted to associate editor and Rachel Burkot moves up to assistant editor at Love Inspired, while Shannon Criss has been promoted to assistant editor at Kimani Press.
