Simon & Schuster Childrens Reorganizes, Eliminates Two Top Jobs

Publishers Weekly reported yesterday that new head of S&S Kids Jon Anderson has finished his inaugural re-org, which gave new or different responsibilities to many of his direct reports and other top people as well as kicking Frank Totaro (VP and deputy publisher of Little Simon and Simon Spotlight) and Kevin Lewis (editorial director of SSBYR and editor of the Spiderwick books) out of the company entirely. PW believes that "several other jobs" have also been eliminated -- presumably including the individuals previously filling those jobs -- but couldn't get any details from S&S.
