More News on the HarperCollins Restructure...

Publishers Weekly offers more news on regarding Harper's children's imprints:

HarperCollins is keeping the fledgling Walden Pond Press imprint; Jordan Brown, who joined HC in 2008, will continue to focus on it as it prepares to launch in winter 2010. Brown, who was reporting to Bowen, will now report to Katherine Tegen, who continues to lead her own imprint. The company is also keeping its new Balzer & Bray children's imprint, which is set to debut this fall.

In a related cost-saving move, the children’s division will move from its location on Sixth Avenue in New York City to HC’s headquarters on East 53rd Street.

Here's the link to the full piece on PW. No word on when the move will happen, but if I hear anything, I'll post the information. It's nice to see that a couple of other new imprints are still going forward.
