Sourcebooks

Jennifer Gonzalez becomes svp and publishing director, overseeing editorial strategy across all Sourcebooks publishing divisions, both kids and adult.

Todd has lived that belief since the day I very luckily met him, and Sourcebooks would not be who we are today without him. I’m incredibly grateful for everything Todd has given us, and I’m so excited for all that Jenn and the team will create next!”
