Caught the news yesterday that Angela James, previously of Samhain Publishing, is now with Quartet Press as editorial director. This is great news for Quartet (way to go, Kassia). Angela seems to rock wherever she rolls. It should be an interesting year for Quartet.
I have no idea who’s head honcho at Samhain now. Anyone know?
Last week or so, Firebrand Literary closed its doors. Several days before that, Michael Stearns, Danielle Chiotti and others formerly with Firebrand, left to form the new Upstart Crow Literary Agency. No clue what Firebrand founder Nadia Cornier’s plans are.
I’m getting dizzy.
I’d like a little more dizziness. It’s fun to have a shake up in publishing once in a while.
Wow. This is a surprise. I don’t know anything about Quartet. I think I’ll go Google them right now.

Hi Edie and Rebecca.
Edie, I don’t know, I wonder how happy Samhain authors are about this move? From what I understand, Angela James did a rockin’ job over there.
Rebecca, I’m familiar with one of the owners of Quartet, Kassia Kroszer. We met on the old cata-romance listserv, and we spent a day sightseeing in DC at the last (not this summer, but way before) RWA conference that was held there. She has an industry website called Booksquare, understands a writer’s mindset, and is an all-round good person.
