Carolyn Pittis has rejoined Welman Digital, a management consulting firm working with publishing and media clients on accelerating business change. She was vp, operations at Sterling Publishing.

Canada’s Indigo laid off some staff last month, in an “organizational reshaping” that a former employee tells PW eliminated about 20 jobs, including some veteran book buyers.

Random House has built a successful audience for their Open House events that let about 250 consumers go behind the scenes with authors and staff for a day at their office building. The latest event sold out in 35 minutes today, and is building a waiting list.

Awards
The annual NAACP Image Awards, just presented, include 8 literature prizes (scroll all the way down). The winners include Victoria Christopher Murray, Pamela Newkirk, Chigozie Obioma, Ta-Nehisi Coates and Ilyasah Shabazz.
