Gibbs Smith will move their sales and distribution in the US and Canada to Simon & Schuster, effective January 1, 2026, starting with the publisher’s spring 2026 list. Up until now, Gibbs Smith has distributed its own titles and sidelines and offered distribution services to other indie publishers. Gibbs Smith president and publisher Suzanne Taylor says in the announcement, “Working with Simon & Schuster will increase our already strong reach into channels across the sales spectrum. We look forward to bringing our titles and sidelines into even more indie bookstores, key retail accounts, special markets, and an expanded international audience.”
