Deb Futter Named Publisher of Twelve

Posted on April 18, 2013

Deb Futter has been named Publisher of Twelve. She also remains Vice President, Editor-in-Chief of Grand Central Publishing. Twelve is an imprint of Grand Central Publishing/Hachette Book Group. The name comes from the imprint's objective of printing no more than twelve books a year. It was established in 2006.

Deb Futter said in a statement, "The Twelve list is a jewel in the publishing landscape. Since its inception, Twelve has been a singular publisher and I am excited to shepherd a new era for this illustrious imprint."

Jamie Raab, President and Publisher of Grand Central Publishing, says, "The Twelve model is unique, one that authors and agents recognize is indeed special in today's publishing world. Twelve books start conversations, define issues, and engage readers. I can't think of a sharper or more experienced editorial voice to shape this dynamic list than Deb. Since she came to Grand Central, her editorial eye has enhanced the entire GCP publishing program and I can't wait to see what she brings to Twelve."

Hachette says Cary Goldstein, the imprint's previous publisher, has decided to pursue other interests. He will act as a consultant through May 1.
