Associate publisher Katharina Bielenberg will take over as publisher at Arcadia. Since the death of founder Gary Pulsifer in 2016, the company has been run by Piers Russell-Cobb at MediaFund. Quercus noted in the announcement: “Arcadia has since its inception been passionately committed to publishing a wide and diverse range of voices, with an especially strong list of international literature in translation.”

Hachette UK, which had hoped to fully implement its hybrid work policy by September 1, is extending that completion date to October 4. While they are “encouraging staff to move to the 3:2 hybrid working model now if they are ready,” they have added “an optional extension to the transition period,” working one day a week in the office during September. Bloomsbury UK was looking to have employees back in the office two days a week starting September 7, but has delayed that plan to October 18.
