Anthony Goff

Anthony Goff, former senior v-p and audio publisher at Hachette, has joined Blackstone Publishing as president, reporting to CEO Josh Stanton. Goff will be the third president in Blackstone's 35-year history.

Goff started his career at Dow Jones working for the Wall Street Journal and Barron's, before entering book publishing at St. Martin's Press, Penguin and Simon & Schuster. After joining Hachette in 2003, he rose to head the company's audio division. During his tenure, Hachette Audio productions have won eight Grammy awards and four Audiobook of the Year distinctions. He has served on the Audio Publishers Association board of directors for many years in roles as treasurer, vice-president and president.

Josh Stanton said that Goff's "passion, genuine care for his co-workers, and proven track record of success makes for a very exciting addition to the company. I believe Anthony's seasoned leadership combined with our amazing team and storytellers puts the company in a perfect position to soar to greater heights."

Goff said, "I've greatly admired Blackstone Publishing through the years as they're a dynamic, fast-moving, tech savvy boutique shop that's grown exponentially and has massive potential to continue that course, and more. We've long operated in parallel philosophies, putting people first to inspire a team-oriented atmosphere, which inevitably leads to growth and success for our staff, clients, and authors. I could not be more exhilarated to take over as president of Blackstone, and thank Josh Stanton, Craig and Michelle Black, and the remarkable team they have built for this amazing opportunity to evolve as cutting-edge publishers who serve this and future generations of readers and listeners."
