Sara Nelson Joins Reed Business Information as Editor-in-Chief of Publishers Weekly
NEW YORK, NY -- Reed Business Information today announced that Sara Nelson has joined the company as Editor-in-Chief of 'Publishers Weekly' magazine. She will report to Executive Vice President and Publisher William McGorry. A journalist for twenty-five years, Nelson most recently served as the publishing columnist and books editor for the New York Post.
"PW has been the bible of the book business for over 100 years. I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to offer my interpretation of it, and to work with the talented PW staff to cover the business that we love," said Nelson.
Before joining the Post, Nelson was the publishing columnist for the New York Observer and Senior Contributing Editor at Glamour magazine.
Nelson has also worked at several other publications including the award-winning Inside.com, where she was the founding books editor; Self magazine; The Book Publishing Report; the Oxygen network; and Bookreporter.com.
Her other career highlights include authoring the bestselling memoir/reading guide, "So Many Books, So Little Time," organizing and running the NYU Summer Publishing Institute and teaching regularly at both the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism and the Radcliffe Publishing Course, which is now part of Columbia.
Nelson has also worked in television as a reporter on one of the first reality shows, CBS's "Top Cops," and on Comedy Central's "Women Aloud."
A graduate of Yale, Nelson lives in New York with her husband, Akira Leo Yoshimura, the longtime production designer for Saturday Night Live, and their son, Charley.
After many years of great service, Nora Rawlinson has decided to leave the organization to pursue other interests.
