On Friday I said goodbye to my brilliant, brilliant rights team at Bonnier. After 8 years of working in books, I’m moving into the world of magazines, joining @HearstUK at the beginning of March as Senior Licensing Partnerships Manager! 🥳

I’ll really miss book fairs and my absolute dream team - with a special shoutout to @SharonGold3. If you don’t know Sharon then you’re missing out - not only is she the most incredible friend, she’s a phenomenal businesswoman, brilliant negotiator and she’s so much fun ❤️

Looking forward to seeing friends old and new in Frankfurt this week, and sharing our brilliant children's titles with you all.
We have something for everyone: pre-school to YA; commerical to the more niche; licensing with Disney/Marvel and Sophie La Girafe... and more! #fbm2023

I know far too many brilliant people who have left the industry in recent years, or are looking at leaving shortly - it’s a huge problem!
There are also serious questions to be asked about salaries above entry level, as these are devaluing at the highest rate, and resulting in an exodus from the book publishing industry. #bookcareers

‘Publishing is an industry that has, since I can remember, relied heavily on staff’s passions to deliver – everybody has a creative flair and an almost bone-deep love of books.’
Couldn’t have said it better. Great article, @katmckenna_!
We've heard from an agent and an editor, now here's marketer @katmckenna_ weighing in on the issue of publishers being way too overstretched...

Left my house at 7 with the Piccadilly line showing as ‘good service’ only to take more than an hour to go 4 stops, thanks @TfL. Acton Town is a disaster.

I can’t believe I’m writing this, but 10 years ago today my childhood best friend died. Time is so surreal and grief never really ends, does it?
Given it’s such a significant amount of time, I’ve signed up to do the Hampton Court Half Marathon for @cftrust 🏃🏼♀️🌹

As many of you know, I have such a love-hate relationship with running, so this will be a challenge for me. Never fear though, I have enlisted @not_quite_cool - the best runner I know - to help keep me on the straight and narrow!

My grandparents always talk about this being their favourite gift every year 🎄
In my opinion, it's one of the most important campaigns and makes the most wonderful stocking filler!
Christmas won't be magical for every child.
A surprise festive book gift from you could light up Christmas for a vulnerable child. Will you help?
Donate today and make a child feel special ✨

Can't tell you how much a real rocking chair and a romance novel is a GREAT night for me
Hey, @PhoenixGroupUK. In 2021, 8 million + physical romance novels were bought in the UK, not including eBooks & Audio. On behalf of the millions of writers, readers, publishers & lovers of love stories, we respectfully request that you ditch the romance bashing & #RespectRomFic.
Love this @HollyKateWebb! Always such a pleasure working with you and your gorgeous books, selling them for four years was a HUGE pleasure!
Congratulations on such a wonderful career so far, long may it continue (many more languages to go...) 🥂
Holly Webb has written over 150 stories for children in her 18 year career including the the bestselling and well loved Animal Stories series.

Absolutely thrilled to share that I have been shortlisted for the inaugural @SharjahBookAuth Rights Connection Award, alongside some amazing names - what an honour! I was sorry to miss the reception at FBF but look forward to celebrating at #SIBF22 next week!
