The videos, which are available on Simon & Schuster's You Tube channel (https://www.youtube.com/simonandschuster), on its own site, www.simonandschuster.com, and also through the company's video distribution network, will serve as an extension and a complement to Simon & Schuster's ongoing series of author videos, offering new and revealing information that can enhance and inform the reading experience.

"Apart from the author, nobody knows a book as well as its editor, and our 'Behind the Book' videos will share with readers some of the inside information and in-house perspective on a book's path to publication," said Ellie Hirschhorn, Executive Vice President, Chief Digital Officer of Simon & Schuster. "With the rise of behind-the-scenes videos, publications like Entertainment Weekly, and author-reader interaction on social media, we've seen that there is a large appetite for this type of deep background, and we think that 'Behind the Book' will engage and entertain those readers looking for additional context."
