Stacy Lellos is joining Workman Publishing as publisher of Workman Children's books, effective October 18. She was most recently president of Klutz for seven years and earlier was v-p of brand marketing at Toys "R" Us. She started her career at Simon & Schuster, where she worked for five years in marketing before moving to Scholastic, where she held multiple roles over an almost 14-year period, culminating in v-p, marketing & multi-platform publishing. Altogether she has 28 years of experience in book publishing and children's retail.
Senior v-p and Workman Publishing publisher Dan Reynolds said, "The Workman Children's program is one of the strongest parts of our business, consisting of tremendous brands like Brain Quest, the Big Fat Notebooks, and Indestructibles, and filled with titles that represent our commitment to innovative, smart publishing and thinking outside the book. In Stacy, we think we've found just the right person to lead our highly talented and hard-working children's team."
Susan Bolotin, publisher and editorial director of the Workman imprint, said, "Finding the right publisher for Workman's children's group wasn't easy. We knew we needed an experienced visionary who would grow the business while honoring what it is and the people who create it--but we have found that person in Stacy. I look forward to working closely with her as we make this important transition."
Lellos said, "Like everyone in the children's publishing world, I've long admired what Workman does. Getting to work with this team is a dream job, and I'm honored to continue the rich Workman tradition of joyously bringing books to children that celebrate the curiosity and passion of all young readers."
