Publishers Weekly read like an obituary today:

S&S Cuts 35 Jobs

Thomas Nelson Cuts 54 Positions

Rubin, Irwyn Applebaum Step Down in RH Reorg

Markus Dohle’s Letter to Staff continues to say, “As a result of this reorganization, Irwyn Applebaum and Steve Rubin, two colleagues who have dedicated many years of service as the publishers of Bantam Dell and Doubleday respectively, will step down from their positions as announced in the accompanying memos.”

The most promising line was, “Coordinating our online marketing and growing our digital publishing business will be further priorities.”

Give me a call.
