Yet another well-established author has launched an imprint under an existing company—this time with Wattpad. The new imprint, Frayed Pages x Wattpad Books, will publish Todd’s books as well as those by established and emerging writers of commercial fiction. One of the consulting publishers on the imprint also consults for Zibby Books. (Guess there’s no conflict of interest or stringent non-compete clause on either side? We last wrote about Zibby Books in September.) Learn more about Frayed Pages x Wattpad Books.
