Yen Press Moved Into New Division The Hachette manga and graphic novel imprint Yen Press will join that publisher's science fiction and fantasy imprint Orbit in a new division named after the latter of the two. Tim Homan of Orbit will head the division and Kurt Hassler will take over solo directorship on Yen Press as co-founder Rich Johnson departs. I'm not sure that isn't just a bunch of names being shuffled around on a chalkboard, although I would imagine it likely reflects the conservative nature of the book publishing business as they brace for Alan Greenspan's credit tsunami. I think Yen has a number of books prepared to come out in 2009, mostly mid-single digit volumes of various launched series.
