Kirkus gets new lease on life

As previously reported by Quill & Quire, Nielsen Business Media announced plans in early December to cease publishing Kirkus Reviews, the 76-year-old pre-publication review journal. Now, however, it looks as if the journal might live on.

According to an internal memo obtained by DailyFinance, Eric Liebetrau, the managing editor of Kirkus Reviews, claims that the magazine has an interested buyer and that the publication will immediately resume business as usual. The magazine will continue to operate under the Nielsen umbrella for now, and Liebetrau expects a sale to be finalized in the next two to three weeks.

    This is good news. Kirkus is an excellent publication and we need to keep intelligent discourse about books alive!
