PW Daily has the story on Marie Coolman’s shift from Random House to Penguin Putnam this morning, as Ballantine’s veteran West Coast publicity chief takes a new post as marketing director for Hudson Street and Plume. I’m pretty psyched about this; back in the day (oh, 1995), Marie—along with the rest of that Random House team in Los Angeles—was one of the first publicists who actually believed me when I said that websites were a hot new media platform and their authors really should give me interviews. And from such humble beginnings, my online career was born.
