From PW Children's Bookshelf...

I'm not sure if you can subscribe to the PW Children's Bookself e-newsletter if you don't subscribe to the print magazine. Anyone know? If you can get it, sign up! It's chock-full-o-news (and reviews) and it's quite visually appealing too (lots of covers and a cute reading-frog logo pretty much the exact same color as the 2007 CWIM).

Today Publishers Weekly reports that HarperCollins is launching a new imprint called HarperTeen to "publish all of HarperCollins's YA titles that don't fall under the EOS fantasy/SF imprint." They'll no longer us HarperTempest and Avon imprint names.

They also report some movin' and shakin' among editor types: Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing promoted Caitlyn Dlouhy from exec editor to editorial director of Atheneum Books for Young Readers. They've also restructured their Simon Pulse teen imprint--Bethany Buck is editorial director and her new staff includes exec ed Jennifer Klonsky (from Aladdin), associate ed Sangeeta Mehta (from Little, Brown) and editorial assistants Michael del Rosario and Caroline Abbey. (Be nice to editorial assistants--they do stuff like read slush.)

By the way... you can subscribe to the e-newsletters without getting the magazine.
