Longtime Macmillan editor-at-large John
Sterling "has decided to step back from full-time work for the company
so he can devote most of his time to starting a new career in politics,"
Holt publisher Steve Rubin writes in a memo. Starting April 1 Sterling will
work part-time for the publisher "and edit a small number of his authors
and acquire only the occasional book."
Sterling joined the company as president and publisher of Holt in 1998, and transitioned to editor at large in 2009. Most recently, he edited Michael Wolff's FIRE AND FURY. Rubin writes, "Please join me in applauding John for two decades of superior work and wishing him well in his new pursuit. Luckily for us, his wisdom and editorial acumen will continue to enrich Holt and Macmillan."
