McFeely is currently working on a centennial history of Norton, which celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2023. McFeely will speak with us about the extraordinary nature of the company – the oldest and largest independent publishing house in the United States wholly-owned by its employees.
The company’s distinguished literary contributions while under McFeely’s leadership are many 11 Pulitzer Prizes, nine National Book Awards, and many bestsellers including: “The Fifth Risk,” “The Undoing Project,” “Moneyball,” and “The Blind Side” by Michael Lewis, “Astrophysics for People in a Hurry” by Neil deGrasse Tyson, “The Perfect Storm” by Sebastian Junger, and “Norse Mythology” by Neil Gaiman.
