Beginnings and Ends
Ahead of the next hearing in the closely watched court case over book banning in Llano County, Tex., a host of book business, freedom of speech organizations, and conservative states filed fiery amicus briefs. The National Book Award longlists were rolled out last week, revealing the semifinalists across five categories. Hachette Book Group has completed its reorg of Workman Publishing, downsizing Algonquin, resulting in the layoffs of publisher Betsy Gleick, associate publisher Michael McKenzie, and a number of other Algonquin staff. Oxford University Press had layoffs of its own, with two of its U.S.-based teams let go. In people news, Tim O'Connell has been promoted to publisher at Saga Press, and publishing legend Stuart Applebaum is stepping away from Penguin Random House. And on the audio front, the inaugural International Summit of Audiobook Publishers convened in New York City and we took a behind-the-scenes look at the process of turning a graphic novel into an audiobook.
