The Writers Store portfolio includes its eCommerce store www.WritersStore.com and a retail location based in Burbank, CA. F+W was represented by DeSilva + Phillips, LLC.
"This acquisition further solidifies F+W Media’s aggressive stance in the eCommerce portion of our business," said David Nussbaum, chairman and CEO, F+W Media, “as we now have 26 e-stores, which combine offerings as diverse as software and books to online education and DVDs to VIP memberships and offers that can only be found exclusively in our stores. The Writers Store fits neatly into our company mantra, as we focus on community, content, curation and commerce.”
"Serving a specialized segment of the larger writing community, this acquisition allows us to add a compelling product extension to our current Writer’s Digest Writing Community and show immediate positive impact to our existing business," added Nussbaum. “We are excited to introduce more than 150,000 new consumers to the F+W portfolio of products and services.”
