ANDREA FLECK-NISBET is the Director of Digital and Online Sales and Marketing at Workman Publishing.

Andrea oversees sales of Workman's six divisions plus Black Dog & Leventhal to Amazon, B&N.com and other online retailers. She works closely with the web development and publicity departments to create holistic marketing campaigns for the Workman list and to leverage the visibility of Workman's major brands on the web. Most recently, Andrea has added digital book sales, marketing and distribution to her responsibilities. In this capacity, Andrea manages the rights, conversion, and distribution of Workman's e-books, oversees relationships with e-book retailers and works with the digital development team to create and distribute new digital product. Andrea is a stickler for clean and complete metadata, which she believes is the single, most important component of online sales and marketing. She lives in Brooklyn.
KELLY LEONARD, Executive Director, Online Marketing at Hachette Book Group, www.HachetteBookGroup.com, Kelly Leonard launched Hachette Book Group’s first steps into web publicity and online marketing in the mid-90s. Previously, she served as a Dell Publishing’s Senior Publicist and Warner Books’ Publicity Manager. Today, Kelly is responsible for directing the Book Group’s online initiatives, social media engagement, marketing apps, and adult trade book and author features on www.HachetteBookGroup.com and its companion e-newsletters. Kelly and her team also individually "hand market" over 300 titles a year to numerous social networks, web site editors, and bloggers in the US and Canada. HBG was one of the first US trade publishers to engage with readers on Twitter back in July 2008. As of early February 2010, HBG imprint accounts have over 34,000+ Followers. Kelly is a graduate of California Lutheran University and studied Irish culture and history at Trinity College, Dublin.

She maintains her own blog at kellyleonard.tv and can be found on Twitter @kellyleonard.
Nothing about Kate’s career has been cookie-cutter. She started as a Casting Director for MTV Networks, hiring voiceover talent for the hit series ‘Celebrity Deathmatch’ (yes, the one with the puppets!) and other animated series and commercials. Her next move was to the food capital of television, Food Network, where she launched the careers of Rachael Ray, Paula Deen, Sandra Lee, Giada DeLaurentiis, and immediately gained 20 pounds.
