Yen Press to be Consolidated

The Hachette Book Group has announced immediate plans to merge its Yen Press manga and graphic novel imprint into its Orbit line of sci-fi and fantasy publishing. Yen Press Publishing Director Kurt Hassler will manage the Yen Press line under the supervision of Orbit Vice President Tim Holman. Yen Press’ Publishing Director, Rich Johnson, will leave the company at the end of the month. While Orbit and Yen Press will share management and marketing personnel, the two lines will “develop independently.”
