Sarvas for Editor

L.A. Observed has the goods on Steve Wasserman's resignation from the L.A. Times Book Review, confirming rumors previously posted on GC.

According to an in-house memo from higher ups at the L.A. Times, "Steve ... informed us of his decision several weeks ago, but characteristically offered to remain through the recent Times Festival of Books." Furthermore: "The search for Steve's successor already is under way, and an announcement regarding that appointment will be made soon."

According to a press release also posted by L.A. Observed, Wasserman will be relocating to NY, where he will become Director of Kneerim & Williams at Fish & Richardson P.C., a literary agency whose rep'd authors include Brad Meltzer, Stephen Greenblatt, Joseph Ellis, and E.O. Wilson.
