People: Karp to Oversee Adult Publishing At Simon & Schuster

March 6, 2018
By Michael Cader

Simon & Schuster Publishing Group president and publisher Jonathan Karp has been promoted to the new position of president and publisher of Simon & Schuster Adult Publishing, reporting to ceo Carolyn Reidy. Karp will have responsibility for all the company’s adult trade publishing, which includes Atria Books, Gallery Books, Scribner, Simon & Schuster, Touchstone and their associated sub-imprints, and he will continue as publisher of the Simon & Schuster trade imprint. (Adams Media continues to report to evp, chief marketing officer Liz Perl, however.)

Reidy says in the announcement: “Jon is well suited and more than ready to take on this greater responsibility. Since he became publisher of Simon & Schuster, Jon’s group has consistently yielded strong annual profits. He has accomplished this by assembling a staff of talented new and long-time editors, publicists and marketing specialists; by fostering a team-oriented and inclusive work environment in which initiative and creativity are valued; and by publishing with verve and to bestsellerdom both longtime and newly acquired authors across a great range of publishing categories.”

Karp added: “I am extremely grateful for this opportunity. Publishing is a collaborative profession, and I look forward to continuing to work with Carolyn, and to collaborating with our highly accomplished publishers in each of our distinct yet complementary imprints. Together, we will build upon what is already a remarkable enterprise and continue to publish books we believe in and love.”
