Confab of Henry Holt and Company, WNET 13/American Masters, and Alcott Team Held in “The Point” at New York’s Flatiron Building

April 16 2009: Nancy Porter and Harriet Reisen met with Holt Editor Jack Macrae, Associate Editor Supurna Banerjee, Maggie Richards of Marketing, and Maggie Sivon of Publicity; and from WNET Donna Williams, Don Lee, and Kellie Castruita Specter, to discuss joint marketing and publicity of the Louisa May Alcott film and book projects. Fittingly, the 3-way parley was held in the triangular conference room of the Flatiron Building, where publisher Macmillan, the parent company of Holt, is preparing to consolidate all its offices. The first joint effort to promote the film and book is a striking bookmark designed by Donna Holstein of Holt that features the book cover on one side and a still from the film on the other.
