Big Deal for Idaho Editor by John F. Baker for Publisher's Weekly, October 2003 MaryJane Butters edits a rapidly growing national magazine (big in
bookstores) called MaryJanesFarm, about organic living for women, from
her Idaho farmstead; she has just scored a two-book deal worth seven figures
with Clarkson Potter. Editorial director Pam Krauss signed her for Mary
Jane's Gathering Place, for publication in spring 2005, and a sequel.
Butters, something of a whirlwind in her field, also has a newspaper column
and an organic food company. The North American rights deal was signed
with agent David McCormick at Collins McCormick. |
