National Lampoon Press leads a group of seven new publishers added by PGW. National Lampoon launched the book unit in 2006, and its titles have been distributed by Holtzbrinck. PGW will start shipping National Lampoon titles April 1, 2008, and PGW v-p of business development Kevin Votel said the company is looking forward to working with the press to expand its list beyond its humor titles.
Other new PGW clients include two new travel publishers: the London-based Hg2, publisher of the Hedonist’s Guides line, and ASDavis Media Group, parent company of the Pulse Guides and Greenline Publications imprints.
The four other new publishers are Island Heritage, DiaMedica, Featherproof Books and Sterling & Ross.
