Leah Eichler has been named Canadian correspondent for Publishers Weekly, replacing Beverley Slopen, who has resigned to devote her full time to her literary agency.
Eichler, who is also the Toronto-based arts and books correspondent for Reuters's online information services in the city, will begin her PW duties at the beginning of May.
She can be reached, for story suggestions and requests for coverage, at (416) 538-8316. Her first major assignment will be coverage of the Canadian Booksellers Association convention in June.
