New Beginnings

Entangled Publishing has tapped former Tinder CEO Faye Iosotaluno for the newly created role of president and COO, overseeing the expansion of the Fourth Wing publisher into a “diversified media platform.” Children’s author Kwame Alexander is starting his own eponymous imprint at Sourcebooks, which will publish titles for all ages beginning next spring. And as the industry continues to adapt to the closure of Baker & Taylor, Ingram Library Services and Penguin Random House are partnering on a print-on-demand program designed to help keep popular backlist titles on library shelves, while used and new book e-retailer ThriftBooks has launched its own library fulfillment and preordering service.

On June 22, Lisa Jewell (r.) celebrated the release of her latest novel, It Could Have Been Her (Atria), at Barnes & Noble Union Square in Manhattan, where Jewell was joined in conversation by author Jessica Knoll (l.).
