[lbo-talk] Verso is hiring, from their new Dumbo U.S. HQ

[Doug Henwood]

Despite some sturm und drang over the years, I'm still very fond of  
Verso as an institution, as well as the books it publishes. They've  
just moved from lower Manhattan to Brooklyn, and they're making  
ambitious sounds about their plans for the U.S. Good luck to them.

They're also hiring. From an email from Verso's Jacob Stevens,  
announcing the move etc.:


> This move is part of a wider shift: an investment in Verso's US  
> operation that we think is a leap forward for the house, since we  
> sell two-thirds of our books in North America. I came to the New  
> York office in September 2007
> - having worked for Verso and NLR in London for many years - to  
> help plan and implement these changes. We're currently recruiting  
> for three new positions here: a commissioning editor, a marketing  
> manager, and a production editor (there are full details on the  
> website). Once we've made these appointments, the NY office will be  
> an even better complement to our vibrant and committed team in the  
> UK. There's no change in editorial strategy here - high quality,  
> uncompromising, radical publishing - but we will be redoubling our  
> efforts to build a list suitable for Verso's fortieth anniversary  
> in 2010 ... with your help!
