As the head of our division announced at Sales Meeting this morning, Wiley has made a deal with Meredith to license their brands into books, and to distribute their existing books, as of March 1st, 2009.
Some publishers whine about the economy and make confusing announcements about "freezes;" some make plans and move forward. I'm thrilled to be working for one of the latter.

Who Is This Hornswoggler?
- Andrew Wheeler
- Andrew Wheeler was Senior Editor of the Science Fiction Book Club and then moved into marketing. He currently works for Thomson Reuters as Manager, Content Marketing, focused on SaaS products to legal professionals. He was a judge for the 2005 World Fantasy Awards and the 2008 Eisner Awards. He also reviewed a book a day multiple times. He lives with The Wife and two mostly tame children (Thing One, born 1998; and Thing Two, born 2000) in suburban New Jersey. He has been known to drive a minivan, and nearly all of his writings are best read in a tone of bemused sarcasm. Antick Musings’s manifesto is here. All opinions expressed here are entirely those of Andrew Wheeler, and no one else. There are many Andrew Wheelers in the world; this may not be the one you expect.
