A subsidiary of Random House, the Crown Publishing Group has confirmed recent layoffs at its Colorado Springs, Colo.-based WaterBrook Multnomah evangelical book division.

"We have no further details or comments to provide beyond confirming that a small number of positions within Waterbrook Multnomah have been eliminated," David Drake, senior vice president and executive director of publicity of the Crown Publishing Group, told Christian Retailing.

In August 2006, Random House acquired Multnomah Publishers and merged the imprint with WaterBrook Press. Random House is the largest English-language trade book publisher in the world.
