Here’s a news  release from Quartet Press—a startup now focusing on romances.

image SOUTHBURY, Connecticut. August 17, 2009 — Quartet Press announced today that Angela James has joined the company as editorial director.

At Quartet, James will be responsible for acquisition and development of titles, as well as management and training of editorial staff.
 
"Like the rest of the Quartet team, I am so pleased that Angela is joining us," said Quartet co-founder, Kassia Krozser. "I’ve known her for some time, and have great admiration and respect for her knowledge and talent. I admire her commitment to quality stories and authors.

“Her vision of digital publishing meshes perfectly with the Quartet Press philosophy, and her focus on the best possible reading experience means she’s always exploring new ways to connect books and readers. She is a leader in the digital publishing industry, both within the world of romance and the wider publishing community."

A native of North Dakota, James’ career in publishing has included ownership of an independent editorial services business, and a position as a copy editor for the electronic book and small press publisher, Ellora’s Cave.

James was most recently executive editor for Samhain Publishing, where she managed the publisher’s editorial services division, and edited more than 50 authors including national bestselling authors Lucy Monroe, Ilona Andrews and Deidre Knight.

James is a well-known advocate for digital publishing, and frequently travels to regional, national and international writing conferences to meet with authors and present workshops on digital publishing for both authors and readers of all genres of fiction.
