People, Etc.

April 5, 2012By Michael Cader

Editorial director of Book Business and Publishing Executive magazines Noelle Skodzinski has left the company, publisher Matt Steinmetz confirms to DBW.

Palgrave Macmillan is launching a new imprint, Palgrave Pivot, that will blend journal and digital-short publishing models. At an average of 100 pages, they will publish works of a length “between the journal article and the conventional monograph” and “undertake to publish within 3 months of acceptance after full peer review.” The focus is on “new important research, or are a review of an area with broad appeal.” Publishing both digitally and on demand, they will sell titles individually as well as in “digital collections for libraries.”

Literary agency Waterside Productions has started Waterfront Press “as the primary publishing platform” for their “authors to publish and promote their eBooks and enhanced eBooks.” They are using Vook’s eBook Platform and say their “model entitles authors to receive 75 percent of all eBook gross revenues generated by Waterfront Press in partnership with Vook.”
