Virago's Lennie Goodings wins Editor and Imprint of the Year award
Posted by Donna Coonan in Award News
We were big winners at last night's inaugural Bookseller Industry Awards: Lennie Goodings for Virago Press won Editor and Imprint of the Year, while our parent company Little, Brown won Publisher of the Year. A double win!
The Bookseller reported on the double award:
"Little, Brown was the Publishing Technology Publisher of the Year, in part for its runaway success with Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series, the publishing phenomenon of 2009. Its young adult imprint Atom sold 16 million copies of the vampire series worldwide last year.
"It capped a successful night for the Hachette publisher. Lennie Goodings, editor at Little, Brown imprint Virago, won the Bookseller's Imprint and Editor of the Year. Buoyed by its literary awards, including Marilynne Robinson's Orange Prize-winning Home, and list of titles selected for television book clubs, judges also singled out Virago's balance of the commercial and critical success. One said: "Lennie sticks by her authors and comes up with winner after winner after winner – all the while remaining exceptionally modest."
