Lorena Jones is returning to Ten Speed Press as v-p and publisher of her own as-yet-unnamed imprint focused on cooking and lifestyle books. She will also serve as an editor-at-large for the Crown Publishing Group's larger illustrated publishing program.
She was most recently publishing director of Chronicle Books. In 1994, she joined Ten Speed Press as an editor, rising to editorial director in 1999, then becoming publisher from 2004 to 2008.
Aaron Wehner, senior v-p and publisher of Clarkson Potter, Harmony Books and Ten Speed Press, said Jones is "a force in illustrated publishing, having developed and edited some of the most seminal books and authors in the lifestyle space over her 25 years in the business. Lorena has earned an enviable reputation with authors, agents, and colleagues alike for her superlative editorial skills, nurturing and collaborative approach, entrepreneurial spirit, and tenacity."
In other Ten Speed Press news, Hannah Rahill has been promoted to v-p, publishing director, from v-p, associate publisher.
