As part of the continued effort to focus on content and communities, Quirk has decided to no longer process and fulfill retail orders directly on the website. Instead, all book pages will feature links to retail partners, including Amazon, B&N, Borders, and Indiebound.
Eric Smith, Quirk's social media and marketing coordinator, will continue in his current role and also act as the site's editor in chief. Smith, who founded the popular Philadelphia blog Geekadelphia, will curate blog posts from authors and guests and will write for the site as well.
Beginning May 17, Quirkbooks.com will serialize the first several chapters of the highly anticipated Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs, leading up to the book's June 7 publication date. In addition, in the coming weeks Quirk will host contests for fans and visitors to the site.
"The new QuirkBooks.com reflects the spirit of innovation and sharing that permeates our company. At its core, the site is a social catalog that uses social media to connect our staff, our authors, and our fans to tell an ever-expanding and up-to-the-minute story around each book," said Cohen.
