  • Here He and His Editorial Staff Will Also Become Responsible for Publishing Titles Under the Free Press Banner
    S I M O N & S C H U S T E R Carolyn K. Reidy President & Chief Executive Officer October 23, 2012 TO EVERYONE AT SIMON & SCHUSTER At Simon & Schuster we take pride in the excellence of our publishing, our drive to innovate and seek out new opportunities on behalf of our authors, and our ability to adapt and initiate change, building on our strengths in order to grow and maintain our edge in a competitive marketplace. In that vein, I’m writing today to let you know about a new arrangement of our publishing units, one that will lead to a sharper editorial focus for our imprints even as it takes consideration of the natural affinities among them. Going forward, adult publishing will be distributed among four major groups. We are fortunate to have within our ranks four highly talented and experienced publishing executives whom I am delighted to promote to the newly created position of President and Publisher. Each is more than ready to take on the greater responsibility of leading his or her group going forward. • The Atria Publishing Group will be led by Judith Curr and will expand to include Howard Books, our Christian publishing imprint. Howard joins a strong family of publishing lines that in addition to Atria includes Emily Bestler Books, Washington Square Press, Strebor Books, Beyond Words, Cash Money Content and Marble Arch Press. Jonathan Merkh, Vice President and Publisher of Howard, will now report to Judith, and the Howard editorial and marketing team will remain in place in Nashville. • The Scribner Publishing Group, led by Susan Moldow, will expand to include Touchstone Books.
