About Us

People will always love stories, and, regardless of the format, librarians will always look to us to help them sift through it all.

Director of Library Marketing Talia Sherer coordinates the library marketing activities of Macmillan’s adult publishers, which include St. Martin’s Press, Henry Holt, Tor/Forge, Minotaur, Picador, and Farrar, Straus & Giroux. Talia was chair of the Association of American Publishers (AAP) Trade Libraries committee for four years and was proud to be named a 2010 Library Journal Mover & Shaker!

"Sure, if you read Talia’s gory favorites, you’ll find the occasional spleen enjoying the open air rather than resting quietly wherever it belongs inside our bodies, but beyond that, you’ll also find a bunch of richly satisfying stories peopled by multidimensional characters who will make you think as much as they make you retch." —Booklist (5/10/2011)

And when authors let her down, they know it,

"I'd like to apologize to Talia Sherer, Macmillan's Library Marketing Manager. I know this book isn't gory enough for you, Talia. I promise to make up for it next time." —Chelsea Cain, in THE NIGHT SEASON (see Acknowledgments)

Plucky Seattleite Ali Fisher works with Talia as the Assistant Manager of Library Marketing. Besides an obvious love of books and libraries, she harbors affection for coconut macaroons, puppies, and the theater. She blogs daily about books of all genres here at MacmillanLibrary.com and about SF/F at Uncharted Pages! See her article in Publishers Weekly: "Resilience: Even Under Threat, Librarians Put Their Communities First."
