Charley Rejsek has been named general manager of BookPeople, Austin, Tex., effective next Monday, December 16.
Rejsek started as a bookseller at Barnes & Noble in 1998, rising to national business development manager before leaving the company in 2016. Since then, she has produced events across Texas for nonprofit news organization the Texas Tribune, and coordinated speaker book signings at the annual Texas Tribune Festival. She has also been involved with the Texas Book Festival since 2007 as a volunteer, serving on author selection committees, and as a staff member, coordinating volunteers and logistics.
Rejsek replaces Elizabeth Jordan, who in September announced that she was resigning as BookPeople CEO to become general manager of Nowhere Bookshop, the new store being opened by author Jenny Lawson in San Antonio.
