Sarah is Publisher of Bloomsbury Children’s list, and has over 20 years publishing experience with Penguin, and Watts non-fiction and Orchard fiction list. As Publisher at Bloomsbury she has overseen and managed one of the biggest successes in global publishing, the Harry Potter series, and her experience in adult, children’s and young adult publishing, both as a publisher and rights director, has established her as a leading expert in the field. We’re looking forward to a lively, fun, informal session with her on Wednesday July 1st, and really hope that you can join us!
