After its restructuring announcement two weeks ago (see the earlier MobyLives report), rumors have been flying throughout the New York book scene that Random House would follow-up with layoffs after the holidays. It didn’t take that long: Michael Cader at Publisher’s Lunch (not available as a free link) is reporting that “additional positions have been eliminated at the Doubleday and Broadway imprints. We were told by one person of at least 6 job cuts, including four people from the art department and one from marketing.” A report from Matthew Flamm at Crain’s confirms it: “Embattled publisher Random House Inc. continued to shrink on Wednesday as 22 positions were eliminated from the former Doubleday Broadway Publishing Group, according to industry sources.”
