In case anyone was wondering, it looks like the massive staff cuts at The Globe and Mail don’t have any immediate ramifications for the paper’s books coverage. About ninety employees are exiting the paper this week, 60 having accepted a buyout offer and 30 having been laid off. But publisher Phillip Crawley told Q&Q yesterday that key books-related employees – books editor Martin Levin, online editor Peter Scowen, and publishing reporter James Adams – are not among those departing.
Inside: In the January/February issue of Q&Q, now on newsstands, we look back on the decade that was, highlighting the people, books, and events that defined the 2000s. Also in the issue, we look ahead at the season’s most anticipated books in our Spring Preview; visit with veteran publisher Kim McArthur as she attempts to reinvent McArthur & Company; and examine the secret nine-to-five lives of Canadian authors. All that, plus reviews of new books by Todd Babiak, Ruth Ohi, Ann Vanderhoof, Richard Scrimger, and more.
