Today, Roger Rosen, CEO and President of Rosen Publishing. an independent educational publishing house serving Pre–K–12 in schools and public libraries, announced the acquisition of Enslow Publishers, Inc., which specializes in nonfiction books for children and young adults.

From the release:

Roger Rosen announced that he has acquired Enslow Publishers, Inc. Continuing operation of the company will be under Enslow Publishing, LLC. Over the years, Enslow’s award-winning titles have been recognized by organizations such as the American Library Association, the NAACP, the National Council for Social Studies, and the Society of School Librarians International. Books cover subjects including biography, contemporary issues, health and drug education, history and government, holidays and customs, math, science and technology, science projects and experiments, sports, and recreation.

In announcing the sale, Rosen said, “Enslow will be maintained as an independent house, with its own dedicated editorial team and mission. It reflects my continuing commitment to a strong publishing industry serving the needs of the library and classroom markets. In addition to continuing Enslow’s high editorial standards, I will be introducing a broad range of digital and other initiatives I have successfully used to transform publishing companies under my direction into diverse media companies. New ebooks, sophisticated interactive titles, and databases are planned. Our growing direct-to-parent business, with information delivered through sophisticated digital platforms that we have developed, benefits from an expanding content base covering a wide range of subjects and age levels. Supportive and involved parents committed to the educational success of their children are a key and growing part of the future market we are evolving to serve.”

Enslow Publishers, Inc. was most recently under the direction of Mark and Brian Enslow, sons of the company founder Ridley M. Enslow, Jr. In announcing the sale, Mark Enslow said, “We are delighted to make this transition. We feel that Roger Rosen and his publishing team will provide excellent continuity for the Enslow brand and programs.”
