Overview
- Paramount announced the Paramount Global Publishing imprint on Wednesday to create books that extend its franchises and build new intellectual property.
- The company will develop and produce titles in-house, while a yet-to-be-named partner will run retail sales and distribution, and existing licensing deals will continue.
- Amy Jarashow will lead the imprint within the Products & Experiences division, reporting to division president Josh Silverman.
- The rollout starts in the U.S. and Canada across print, digital, and audio formats, with international markets and the first slate to be named later.
- The shift returns an internal publishing arm after the 2023 sale of Simon & Schuster and reflects a wider push by studios to use books as feeders for film and TV worlds.
