Peter Workman graduated from Yale University and began his career in books working in a bookstore, as a sales rep for a small trade magazine publisher, and then for Dell Publishing. He and a partner cofounded Parallax Publishing, a book packaging company. Peter then launched Workman Publishing in 1968 with the first book under the Workman name, The Yoga 28-Day Exercise Program, which is still in print. The company grew and became the largest independently owned trade book publisher in the United States. Peter Workman died in 2013; his wife and long-term partner in the business, Carolan Workman, then headed the company. Workman Publishing is now part of Hachette Book Group.
