The four staff members at independent U.K. publisher Hesperus Press, including head of publishing Nikki Griffiths, "have resigned their roles at the company," the Bookseller reported, adding that the company "exhibited at the London Book Fair, but staff were absent." Griffiths and two others left Friday and a fourth employee will leave at the end of this week.
Hesperus CFO Ayman Al Asmar told the Bookseller "a formal release about next steps and future plans would be issued 'soon,' but would not give additional details." Hesperus Press is distributed in the U.S. by Trafalgar Square Publishing.
