After a decade in sales and marketing management, with such accomplishments as the launch of Hyperion and Disney Press into toy and mass market retailers, Doherty moved to the Indianapolis area. His first jobs were with Warner Publishers Services, where he sold mass market and trade paperback lines to the wholesalers and jobbers who handle supermarkets and other mass merchandisers. “When I got out of college, going into the book business was natural,” says Doherty. He absorbed book publishing as a child through his father’s career as a book salesman and publisher, and his mother’s work in management of a college bookstore, and he began delivering newspapers in a suburb of Queens, NY, when he was 10.īy the time Doherty was in high school, his parents had founded Tor Books as a publisher of science fiction and fantasy, and he worked there part-time and in the summer until he got his business degree at SUNY Binghamton.
Born into publishing is how we could describe IBPA board member Tom Doherty.
