I’m happy/sad to report that with the next issue of ‘Cooking the Books,’ I’ll be passing editorship of this newsletter to my PW colleague Clare Swanson.

I’ve loved bringing you news and features from the culinary and cookbook world for the last few months, but the demands of the children’s book department here at PW are keeping me too busy to continue editing the newsletter, as much as I’ve loved it. You’ll be in great hands with Clare, who is reachable at cswanson@publishersweekly.com for all pitches, cookbook deals, and story ideas.

Clare Swanson has been a news editor with Publishers Weekly since 2013, a position she will continue to hold. She is a graduate of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, and was previously an assistant editor at Random House.
