I’m pleased to announce that Gail Horwood, S.V.P. of Programming and Strategy for Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, will be presenting “What is a Publisher?” at the next brown bag lunch for the Digital Publishing Group on June 8 in New York City.  Gail is not only a longtime friend of mine (dating back to high school days!), but also has that rare combination of pragmatism and knowledge about the digital space that will surely make for an enlightening talk.    Here’s her bio:

Gail Glickman Horwood is SVP, Digital Programming & Strategy at Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia. Prior to joining MSLO she spent almost six years at Time Inc. serving as Executive Director, InStyle.com and Executive Director, Creative Development for Time Inc.

She was formerly the VP of Content for Zagat Survey, where she managed both digital and print product initiatives including the company’s expansion into movies, music, golf, and shopping.
