NY, New York, November 6, 2014 (Newswire.com) - LID Publishing is expanding its editorial capability in North America by opening an office in the West Coast and incorporating Mark Brokering as Associate Publisher. Based in San Francisco, Brokering will work closely with LID Publishing’s main US office in New York headed by Martin Liu as General Manager and David Woods as Editorial Director.
Brokering is a veteran publishing professional, who has held senior executive positions at HarperCollins and O’Reilly Media. He was until recently the Vice-President of Content Strategy and Acquisition for Safari Books Online.
