When James Daunt took over as CEO of Barnes & Noble, he had plans to remake not only the company’s retail operation but its publishing business, as well. In the U.K., Daunt is CEO of Waterstones and also owns an independent bookstore chain and a publishing business (both named Daunt Books). The pandemic altered much of his original blueprint, but he took the first step in overhauling B&N’s Sterling Publishing division in January, naming Emily Meehan publisher and chief creative officer, succeeding Theresa Thompson.
