Editor's Note: Harlequin Named Publishing Innovator of the Year
Book Business has named Toronto-based Harlequin Enterprises Ltd. Publishing Innovator of the Year in book publishing. The women's fiction publisher will be honored at an awards dinner to be held Monday, March 23, during the Publishing Business Conference & Expo at the New York Marriott Marquis.
Harlequin was singled out for several pioneering efforts, including being amongst the first publishers to launch a full-scale e-book program and to offer mobile content. It also was the first publisher to make all front-list titles available in e-book format, and to offer entire e-books enriched with interactive links to Web sites offering more information about the books' content. It also has led the industry through its innovative approaches to digital content with products such as Spice Briefs and Silhouette Nocturne Bites.
