Susan Hershberg and Wes Seeley have both joined Princeton Architectural Press as publicity managers. Previously, Hershberg was associate director of publicity at America’s Test Kitchen. Seeley was publicity and marketing manager at Hal Leonard.

JK Rowling was in a new Twitter brawl with Piers Morgan over the weekend after she noted “how much she had enjoyed watching Morgan being attacked by a forthright panel of commentators in an argument about the impact of Donald Trump’s presidency” on Bill Maher’s HBO show.

A spokesperson confirmed to the AP that former President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle Obama will stay with attorney Bob Barnett and his colleague Deneen Howell at Williams & Connolly for book representation. The Obamas will use the Harry Walker Agency for speaking engagements.
