Effective January 2018, IPS's Perseus Distribution will handle sales and distribution for F+W Media print books in the U.S. and Canada and for the company's digital titles worldwide.
F+W Media publishes some 100 books a year and has a backlist of more than 1,000 titles in art instruction, crafts, woodworking, writing, genealogy, antiques and collectibles, and the outdoors. It also publishes Writer's Digest, which for more than 90 years has offered books, magazines, competitions, conferences and online education materials for writers to hone their craft.
"F&W is a category leader in so many areas. It is an honor to be selling their list," said Heidi Sachner, v-p, Ingram Publisher Services-Perseus Distribution. "We are thrilled to be working with Allison Devlin, with whom we have previously worked, and with Tom Beusse, the new CEO of F&W Media. They bring a new entrepreneurial sensibility and excitement to F+W's well-established businesses."
