She will “manage the intercompany sales flow for books originating in each territory that publish within the group, including monitoring release timings and enhancing group communication across all publishing lists,” as well as heading “sales outside the group, chiefly selling titles to third-party customers in the UK and US where rights are available.” Pleydell-Pearce was formerly foreign rights manager at Templar Books.

Colleen Andrews has also joined Bloomsbury Children’s as a designer. Previously she was a designer at Oxford University Press.
