Three Rivers Press welcomes Katie McHugh as associate editor. Publisher’s Lunch tells us she will be acquiring practical nonfiction (we eagerly await the day someone less lazy than us publishes a cheat sheet of publisher terminology). Though we would argue some titles in her repetoire could verge into the realm of impractical nonfiction, she’ll be seeking self-help, fitness/health, parenting, personal finance, and popular reference. Hmm, we are even more confused on the practicality of all this: there is a Three Rivers Press which is a division of Crown, which is a division of Random House, and there’s a Three Rivers Press (CA), which does not appear to have a website. Both seem like possible candidates. Or perhaps they’re the same and the Interent has not yet realized it. Makes one wonder exactly how many rivers there are out there.
