People, Etc.

August 12, 2016
By Michael Cader

Peter Knapp has rejoined Park Literary Group as an agent, focusing on middle grade and young adult fiction. Previously he was an agent at New Leaf Literary & Media.

At Harper Christian, Becky Monds has been promoted to acquisitions editor for fiction, and Karli Jackson moves up to associate acquisitions editor.

PEN America is bringing back their PEN/Nabokov Award — last awarded in 2008 — now providing a $50,000 prize “to a writer born or residing outside the United States for an outstanding body of work over a sustained career.” The organization’s first award focused on international authors, organization president Andrew Solomon adds in the announcement, “It is a welcome counterbalance to rampant xenophobia and increasingly jingoistic provincialism. In renewing our close collaboration with the Vladimir Nabokov Literary Foundation, PEN America pays tribute to the cross-cultural legacy of one of the most revered multinational PEN Members, a master of storytelling: Vladimir Nabokov.”

Summer
It turns out nearly our entire staff is on the road next week so if you find things a little light, late or slow, that’s why.
