People 1/28 - Publishers Lunch

Bloomsbury

Bloomsbury is opening an office in Singapore focused on academic publishing. The publisher writes, “The early focus of the Singapore base will be on expanding the direct relationships with Higher Education institutions, and tailoring more content for Asian markets, to be delivered primarily through Bloomsbury Digital Resources.”

Nigel Newton, founder and chief executive of Bloomsbury says, “I am pleased to announce the opening of our new base in Singapore. Whilst we have sold books and digital resources in Asia for many years, having an editorial base in Singapore and tailored content will allow us to strengthen local partnerships, expand our activity in the region and capitalise on the growing student population.”
