Brittany Boughter has joined Chronicle Books as marketing manager, entertainment and art. Most recently, she was digital marketing manager at Penguin Random House UK.

Carolyn Cox has joined Open Road as editor of The Portalist, a new online community for fans of science fiction, fantasy, and genre-related pop culture news. Cox was previously an editor at the pop culture website The Mary Sue, and reports to Betsy Mitchell.
