More publishing layoffs

By Jane On December 3, 2008 · 2 Comments · In Publishing News ·

A friend of mine emailed me and said she was scared to go to Publishers Marketplace for fear of hearing about more layoffs. Simon & Schuster is cutting 35 positions including "publishing divisions and international, operations and sales). One of the S&S staff we know that is "resigning" is the head of the S&S Children's arm, Rick Richter who has been with S&S since 1999.

Today hasn’t been a good day for publishing, has it?

In the manga realm, I heard that TOKYOPOP has also laid off some people.
