Lerner Publisher Services, part of the Lerner Publishing Group, will take over U.S. trade, school and library distribution for Lorimer Children & Teens effective August 2016. Lorimer Children & Teens, a Canadian publisher started in 1978, has over 500 children's books in print, with 14 new titles coming this fall.
"With the expertise of Lerner Publisher Services our books will now be available in more schools, libraries, and stores than ever before," said James Lorimer, publisher for Lorimer Children & Teens. "We're excited that this partnership will get our books into the hands of more young readers."
"With the addition of Lorimer Children & Teens, Lerner Publisher Services expands its offerings by adding books that deal with contemporary social issues and high interest topics at low reading levels that ensure reader success," said David Wexler, executive vice president of sales for Lerner Publishing Group. "These books will pair well with Lerner's award-winning books for reluctant readers from our Darby Creek imprint."
Customers can order Lorimer titles from Lerner as of July 1, with books available on August 1.
