Gretchen Young

 

In September 2022, veteran editor GRETCHEN YOUNG launched Regalo Press, distributed by Simon & Schuster. The new imprint unites philanthropy with the business of book publishing by making a donation to a charity of the author’s choice on every book published. (This has never been done before. Its purpose is to publish great books while benefiting and broadening the reach of specific causes.) 

Before launching Regalo Press, Young spent the prior 10 years as vice president, executive editor at Grand Central Publishing. Prior to that she was at Hyperion Books, a division of the Disney/ABC Television Group, where she launched the ESPN imprint and served as the editorial director of ABC Synergy, developing projects for a variety of divisions within the global company. 

In addition, she has acquired and edited books by natural historian Sir David Attenborough, poet and Pulitzer Prize finalist and essayist Elizabeth Alexander, comedians George Carlin, Mike Birbiglia, Amber Ruffin, and Larry Wilmore, Pulitzer prizewinning writer Oscar Hijuelos, theater giant Kenny Leon, musicians Billie Eilish and Yoko Ono, sports legends Tiger Woods, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Joe Torre, and Walt Frazier, business and thought leaders Eric Schmidt and Cal Newport, ballet dancer Misty Copeland, and awardwinning television journalists Robin Roberts, Willie Geist, and Elizabeth Vargas. Her books and authors have hit the New York Times bestseller list more than 75 times. They have also garnered a Pulitzer finalist, a Grammy, an Edgar Award, No. 1 Indie Next Pick, a Goodreads Choice Award, an NAACP Image Award, and two Time 100 honors.
