Time Home Entertainment, the book publishing arm of Time Inc., is moving the U.S. sales and marketing of its trade list to sister company Time Warner Retail Sales and Marketing.
The change will take place beginning January 1, 2015, with TWR taking over sales for 2015 titles in the U.S. Current THE distributor Hachette Book Group will sell the 2014 list and will continue handling international sales as well as remaining THE’s vendor of record and distribution partner, handling all ordering, invoicing and distribution.
"TWR already has a tremendous track record of selling THEI’s bookazine programs into the U.S. newsstand market, and it is a logical next step to expand that relationship to include our trade publishing business. We expect to drive significant growth with this newly created integrated sales team," said THE president and publisher Jim Childs.
