By Dianna Dilworth 

Tor/Forge Books has revealed a major restructuring beginning with two new associate publishers.
Former editor Patrick Nielsen Hayden has been named associate publisher of Tor Books. Devi Pillai, who previously led the US division of Orbit, is also joining Tor as associate publisher.
Linda Quinton has been named publisher of Forge Books. Formerly she serves as associate publisher and vice president of marketing for Tor/Forge. The company will soon reveal the new marketing and publicity.
“At a time when so many of our competitors are cutting back, consolidating imprints, and reducing staff, it’s wonderful to know that Macmillan enthusiastically supports our plan for growth,” stated Tom Doherty, president and publisher of Tor/Forge Books. “We will shortly be announcing further additions and promotions within our editorial staff. Here’s to an amazing team that it’s my privilege to lead into a great future.”
