People, Etc.

April 1, 2015
By Sarah Weinman

Leila Campoli has joined Stonesong as an agent representing nonfiction in the areas of business, economics, finance, science, pop culture, current affairs, and politics. She was most recently an editor at Palgrave Macmillan.

Courtney Carbone is being promoted to associate editor at the Random House Children’s/Golden Books imprint.

Alli Brydon is joining The Bright Group on April 6 as managing agent in their expanding US office. She has been a senior editor at Sterling Children’s, where she worked for over 9 years. She will oversee US agents James Burns and Anne Moore-Armstrong and help build their roster of US children’s book authors and illustrators.

Faith Black Ross has joined Severn House as an acquiring editor, focusing on mystery and historical fiction. Previously she was an editor at Berkley. Ross also serves as editor at the crime/mystery website The Life Sentence, which launches this month.

Obituary
Penguin Random House Children’s has written in remembrance of “our beloved former Random House and Bantam Books colleague, Doris Bass” who died at age 86. “While there are only a few of us presently on staff who were professional contemporaries of hers, her contributions to our publishing efforts in the seventies, eighties, and early nineties, and the heart and wisdom she poured into them, have tremendous resonance for who we are as publishers today…. Doris was one of the true trailblazers of our profession, creating the template and framework for the trade publisher library-promotion playbook we still use today. She is singularly responsible for helping to instill a love of reading and a passion for books in several generations of young and old, as well as a permanent place for books in classrooms and school libraries across America.”

Distribution
Ingram Publisher Services will handle sales and distribution in the US and Canada for Adaptive Studios, Edgy Reads, Elevate Publishing and Mango Media. They are also providing distribution for Cahiers d’Art.
