The original Florida-based publisher of the bestselling Chicken Soup for the Soul series laid off 34 employees yesterday.
HCI made most of the job cuts in the manufacturing and production side of the company, Publishers Weekly reports. The company also publishes bestselling titles like Dave Pelzer’s “A Child Called It” and Kay Sheppard’s “Food Addiction.”
Here’s more from the article: “[HCI] prints its own titles as well as titles from outside publishers. No cuts came in the editorial and sales sides of the business, a spokesperson said, and HCI has made no cuts in its title output.”
