Mark Tauber, who was senior v-p and publisher of HarperOne from 2005 to 2017, has joined Chronicle Books, where he will be managing director of a new publishing imprint. As yet unnamed, the imprint will launch in fall 2019 and publish six to eight titles a season focusing on narrative and inspirational nonfiction in subjects ranging from health, wellness and lifestyle to creative business, sports, memoir and reference.
Chronicle president Tyrrell Mahoney said that Tauber's "extensive publishing acumen and deep experience identifying talent and cultivating bestsellers will enable us to publish an even wider range of content to complement our already exceptional book and gift program and serve our mission to spark the passions and interests of our loyal customers around the world."
Tauber added: "I have been a great fan [of Chronicle], a devoted consumer, and a happy neighbor here in San Francisco for many years. I look forward to building this new imprint and working with the smart, creative Chronicle Books team as I blend my own experience with their high‐quality, high‐impact, award‐winning, and distinguished tradition of success. And I can hardly wait to jump back in again working with all my agent and industry colleagues to discover, develop, and publish leading, authentic, and enduring authors and projects."
At HarperOne, Tauber published such authors as Paulo Coelho, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Barbara Brown Taylor, Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Johnny Cash, Marianne Williamson, Rob Bell and Sally Quinn. His most recent bestseller there was The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck.
