Bookseller+Publisher Online

Mark Tanner has been appointed to the newly created position of strategic partner development manager for Google Books in Australia and New Zealand.

Tanner is currently the Australian manager of publishing services company ReadHowYouWant.

The specifics of his new role aren't yet clear, but Tanner was able to tell the Weekly Book Newsletter that he would be acting as ‘Google Books' man on the ground for the region', backed up by ‘a big team from Google internationally' and that he will be speaking both with local publishers about making their content available on Google Books and to retailers and resellers about selling Google's offering to consumers.  

Tanner will be leaving ReadHowYouWant on Thursday 17 June and starting with Google on Monday 21 June. ReadHowYouWant will announce his replacement shortly.
