Effective June 30, Lauren L. Wohl will step down from her position as associate publisher for Roaring Brook Press, Farrar, Straus & Giroux Books for Young Readers, and First Second Books. However, Wohl won’t be leaving the publisher entirely: she will immediately begin consulting for Macmillan Children’s Book Group's institutional marketing division as well as for ReadKiddoRead, an organization founded by author James Patterson to help adults find good books for children and teens, and for other projects as they arise. Wohl joined Roaring Brook in 2002 as a consultant, remaining with the company when it was purchased by Holtzbrinck in 2004; she was promoted from marketing director to associate publisher of Roaring Brook in 2007. Wohl can be reached at llwohl@aol.com.
