Publishers Lunch
Longtime HarperCollins executive editor Tim Duggan will move to Crown on June 9 where he will
serve as publisher of his own Tim
Duggan Books imprint. He will publish 8 to 10 titles a year,
"evenly split between nonfiction and fiction," reporting to Molly
Stern.
Duggan says: "I'm thrilled to be
joining the ultra-talented team at Crown, and I can't wait to get started on
building and shaping a brand new list of books that puts an emphasis on
discovering bold new voices and aiming for the highest standard of storytelling
across a range of genres."
Stern writes to staff: "An exceptional
editor known for his conviction and wide-ranging interests, Tim has built
productive, trusting relationships with authors across a vast spectrum, ranging
from investigative journalists and short-story writers to historians, and
statesmen. He has long been admired throughout our industry as a great and
collaborative publishing partner. Booksellers all over the country take notice
of the books that emerge from Tim’s roster, and they have come to expect works
of lasting value that garner serious critical acclaim and media attention, and
that often become required reading for a great number of book buyers."
