People, Etc.

June 3, 2019
By Michael Cader

Goodreads co-founder and editor in chief Elizabeth Khuri Chandler has “decided to move on to my next chapter” after 12 years with the company.

Larisa Helena joined Callisto Media as foreign rights manager. (She was a subsidiary rights manager at Pippin Properties.)

In honor of Bob Bernstein‘s remarkable life and legacy, the Bernstein family has arranged for a celebration of life event on Tuesday, June 25t from 6:00-8:30 PM, at the Lighthouse at Chelsea Piers. They ask that you please RSVP to BernsteinRSVPJune25@gmail.com if you are able to attend.

Distribution
Two Rivers will handle sales and distribution as of August for: Justice Studios, Hamilcar Publications, Starry Forest, Reverte Management, and The Infatuation Inc/Zagat.

Lunch
The biggest news we heard at Book Expo was that the restaurant Cognac — unofficial canteen of Penguin Random House (across the street from their office building) and former home of events including the Knopf Doubleday Book Expo party) — will be closing. Apparently the site is turning into a nightclub.
