People, Etc.

February 3, 2017
By Sarah Weinman

At Disney-Hyperion, Rotem Moscovich has been promoted to executive editor, Laura Schreiber has been promoted to senior editor, and Hannah Allaman moves up to assistant editor.

Seattle Times book editor Mary Ann Gwinn is leaving after 34 years at the newspaper (18 as book editor). In this column, “she looks back at notable adventures and thanks you, the readers and writers who built our city of literature.”

Distribution
IPG will handle North American sales and distribution for Albert Whitman, beginning with the publisher’s digital frontlist as of February 1, and adding print titles as of April 1. Whitman has been handling their own distribution (and Open Road has digital backlist distribution through 2018).

Fordham University Press will move their distribution to Ingram Publisher Services as of July 1, and this month the press itself is relocating from the university’s Bronx campus to their Manhattan campus near Lincoln Center.

Acquired
Fox Chapel Publishing has acquired Lumina Media’s book division, comprising 330 print and 440 digital titles in categories such as dog, horse, reptile, pet care, home gardening, transportation, farm, and rural life. Fox Chapel will launch a new imprint, Companion House Press, to market the new line of books and products, with Lumina Media managing editor for books Christopher Reggio overseeing the imprint as director of product development and editorial operations.

Forthcoming
Abrams will also publish a collection of Women’s March images, WHY I MARCH, set for publication on February 21. The company says all royalties will be donated to “nonprofits affiliated with the march.”
