Aaron Wehner is executive vice president and director of business development for the Crown Publishing Group, as well as publisher of Clarkson Potter and Ten Speed Press. Wehner founded Ten Speed Graphic—Penguin Random House's first dedicated adult graphic novel program—and introduced Crown's children's imprint, Ten Speed Young Readers.
Children's books are where young readers first discover the power of story, the immersive magic of illustration, and the thrill of ideas that expand their world. At Ten Speed Press, we have a celebrated history of visual storytelling—and now, with the launch of Ten Speed Young Readers, we are excited to extend that legacy by inspiring, delighting, and empowering a new generation of book lovers.
Under the leadership of editorial director Ginee Seo, the team at TSYR brings deep expertise and an appreciation of the wondrous and wonderful. With an elevated aesthetic and a spirit of curiosity, we're building a program designed to spark imaginations and connect with readers across ages and interests. Our debut list embodies the heart of what we aim to publish each year: captivating picture books that will endure, whimsical board books that invite discovery, and narrative nonfiction that taps into children's natural sense of humor and appetite for adventure. We couldn't be more delighted to share these stories—and to place them in the eager hands of young readers everywhere. —Aaron Wehner
