  • HMH Files for Bankruptcy – PW

    Posted at 9:30 pm by Laura, on May 21, 2012

    Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Files for Bankruptcy – Publisher’s Weekly

    Houghton Mifflin Harcourt officially filed for pre-packaged bankruptcy Monday morning, citing debts and liabilities of over $1 billion. The filing is part of a restructuring of its finances that will cut its debt by $3.1 billion largely by having its lenders exchange debt for equity.

    This is big news. Heavy. Loaded. Shocking.

    The package plan allows for smooth transitions and continues the current relationships with authors, agents, employees and customers.

    Author: Laura

    Laura is a fangirl. A literary agent by day, a blogger by night. A recipient of an MA in Publishing. Happily attached to a book, ereader, and laptop. A tea devotee, musician, and book hoarder (so much so that she just might die from an overturned-and-heavily-loaded bookcase collapse).

    • Hello, I’m Laura!

      I'm a bookish bookworm and book hoarder. By day I'm a literary agent, and by night I'm forever rearranging my bookshelves. I could talk your ear off about Gothic literature, and in my past life people thought I'd become a professional musician. I have a fluffy black cat named Rossetti, I love to travel, tea is my drink of choice, British TV is the best, and I'm always down for chips-and-queso nights. Welcome to Scribbles & Wanderlust! Grab your favorite hot beverage and let's chat books!
