Publishers Lunch
Owner
of Houston independent mystery bookshop Murder By the Book McKenna Jordan will
join Minotaur Books as a dedicated outside publishing consultant to the
imprint, a newly created role. Jordan will report to associate publisher Kelley
Ragland, who will help Jordan make "her unique and successful experience
in the positioning, selling, and marketing of mysteries and crime fiction
available on an exclusive basis to Minotaur's staff of editors and
marketers."
Minotaur publisher Andy Martin said in the announcement: "Since I joined
Minotaur Books in 2006, I have eagerly sought the advice of some of the great
practitioners in the field out there hand-selling mysteries every day. McKenna
was always very approachable, interested, energetic and wildly knowledgeable
and insightful about the field. She personifies the best case scenario of a
bookseller as a publishing partner. It will be extremely valuable and exciting
to have her on board officially as a unique part of our team." Jordan
added: "I am so very excited to be working with Andrew, Kelley and the
rest of the staff at Minotaur Books! After years of hand-selling their titles
on the front lines at Murder By The Book, I hope to be able to bring a unique,
first-hand insight about how best to market and promote Minotaur titles to all
consumers."
