Mary Matalin to Head New S&S Imprint

Mary Matalin has been tapped for a new, political and conservative imprint at Simon & Schuster, the AP reports.

“I think we’re on the threshold of a whole new way of looking at politics and policy and there’s something vital about getting those ideas down in book form,” Matalin told the AP earlier today.

Beginning in 2006, the imprint will be expected to release 6 to 10 books annually. No authors have yet been named.
