Howard to Head Doubleday Paperbacks
Calvin Reid -- 4/20/98
Gerald Howard, a distinguished literary editor and vice-president at W.W. Norton for the last 10 years, has been named vice-president and editor-in-chief of paperbacks for Doubleday's Anchor and Main Street Books imprints.
Stephen Rubin, Doubleday's president and publisher, praised the "breadth and depth" of Howard's accomplishments. Rubin said Howard will be charged with broadening the range of Anchor's frontlist and refocusing the Main Street list.

Howard began his career at New American Library in 1978, moved to Penguin in 1980 and joined W.W. Norton in 1988. He has edited such eminent American writers as Don DeLillo, William Kennedy and David Foster Wallace. He also edited The Bear Comes Home by Rafi Zabor, which received this year's PEN/Faulkner Award for first novel.
