Anjali Singh To Simon and Schuster

Anjali Singh will join Simon & Schuster as a senior editor next month, according to various reports in the book trade. Singh is best known in comics circles for her acquisition of runaway comics and literary hit Persepolis in 2003, for Pantheon. She also edited Epileptic, The Rabbi's Cat and La Perdida for the imprint.

Singh moved to Houghton Mifflin Harcourt in I believe late 2006 in what was a very high-profile hire. She edited the 2008 Frederik Peeters book Blue Pills, which was not a hit. although the short version of her resume included in this week's article notes that she has always worked on literary fiction as well as comics and that comics was never the entirety of her editorial purview. In addition to prose, Singh also had at least one hybrid comics/prose work planned while at the company. She was let go from HMH in late 2008 when the publisher made cutbacks. A statement in the hiring stories notes that graphic works will be among those areas in which she's looking to acquire for Simon & Schuster.
