Riverhead was founded in 1994 by Susan Peterson Kennedy (now President and Publisher of Penguin Group (USA)). Riverhead had an early focus on Buddhism and spirituality and literary fiction by young ethnic writers. In 2003, Julie Grau and Celina Spiegel, two of Riverhead's original editors, became co-publishers of Riverhead; they left the company in 2005 to form Spiegel & Grau, a division of Doubleday.
The current publisher of Riverhead is Geoffrey Kloske. (...) more....
