Penguin Publishing Group (PPG) has created the Berkley Publishing Group within PPG, which will be made up of all the Berkley and New American Library (NAL) imprints.
Leslie Gelbman, president, Berkley Publishing Group, will lead the new group. Kara Welsh has been promoted to senior vice president and publisher of the group and Claire Zion has been promoted to vice president and editor in chief. Tom Colgan and Cindy Hwang have both been promoted to vice president and editorial directors of the group. Here is more about the new group from a memo that Gelbman sent to staffers:
On July 1st, we will bring together what have to this point been separate editorial, managing editorial, production and art departments, aligning all areas of our publishing program under a new banner, the Berkley Publishing Group. Berkley and NAL already share marketing, publicity, and advertising teams, a structure which has provided agility as we navigate the ever-evolving marketplace. By unifying all departments, we will be even stronger going forward. I am confident these changes highlight our core strengths and firmly position us to provide the best possible forward-thinking, unwavering support and focus for our books and authors.
