Gallery Publishing Group is a general interest publisher and a division of Simon & Schuster that was formed in October to 2012 to house a number of imprints including Gallery Books, Pocket Books and Threshold Editions. The main imprint is Gallery Books.
The current president of Gallery Books is Louise Burke. The current publisher for Gallery Books Group is Jennifer Bergstrom.
Simon & Schuster created the Gallery Books imprint in 2009 to unite the editorial teams of both Pocket Books and Simon Spotlight Entertainment or SSE . Louise Burke was named executive vice-president and publisher of Gallery while Jennifer Engstrom who had been publisher of SSE, would be editor-in-chief of Gallery Books. Hardcovers and trade paperbacks that had been published under the Pocket Books and SSE imprints would be published under the Gallery name moving forward. Gallery would focus on women's fiction, pop culture and entertainment, as well as a broad range of categories. At that time in 2009, other Pocket imprints such as Downtown Press, Karen Hunter Books, MTV Books, Star Trek, Threshold Editions and WWE were unaffected by the move, but many would later become part of the Gallery Books Group when it was created as its own division in 2012.
In 2011, Glenn Beck signed a co-publishing deal with Simon & Schuster/Gallery for Mercury Ink.
Simon & Schuster announced a reorganization in October 2012 that created four divisions of which Gallery Publishing Group is one. The Gallery Publishing Group would consist of Gallery Books, Threshold Editions, Pocket Books, Pocket Star, MTV Books, and Karen Hunter Books.Threshold Editions is a conservative imprint founded in 2006 by Mary Matalin. Founded in 1939, Pocket Books publishes mass-market editions and was instrumental in introducing the pocket-size book to the American market. Pocket Star was relaunched as an e-book only imprint in 2012. Karen Hunter Books was founded in 2007 by journalist Karen Hunter and is the home of celebrity authors such as Janet Jackson, Kris Jenner, Allen Iversion and Patti LaBelle.
