Editor's Note: Book Business Announces Promotions, New Hire
We've learned this year that there's no sitting still in the publishing world. To that end, we here at Book Business are excited to share some big personnel news in our own shop.
For starters, we're pleased to announce that Matt Steinmetz has been named the new publisher of Book Business. Matt's is a name that should be familiar to longtime readers. He began here back in 2005 as an associate editor and rose to special projects editor and editor of our Publishing Business Conference (PBC) program in 2009. After a brief hiatus, Matt returned to the Book Business fold in 2011 in a sales role as a regional account manager. We're banking that his role in building Book Business and the PBC bodes well for our future. Fun fact: Matt served for two years as communications director for the Jon Bon Jovi-owned Arena Football League team the Philadelphia Soul.
