How many books does Simon and Schuster publish every year and what kind of books are they?
Simon and Schuster Books for Young Readers is one imprint of Simon and Schuster Children’s Publishing, and there are two other imprints here — Atheneum and McElderry Books — that publish hardcover books just as we do. All three imprints publish both picture books and novels for young people, though my imprint is more retail-driven, while the other two are more focused on institutional sales (schools and libraries). My imprint publishes about 100-110 books a year, a combination of picture books and novels.
