Pushkin Press has appointed Laura Macaulay to the newly created role of deputy publisher, effective March 14. The Bookseller reported that Macaulay, "currently publisher at Daunt Books' publishing arm, will acquire fiction and nonfiction for Pushkin Press, the Pushkin Collection, Pushkin Vertigo and Pushkin Children's Books." She established Daunt Books Publishing with James Daunt in 2010. Previously, Macaulay worked for Hodder & Stoughton, and had been a manager at Daunt Books.
Adam Freudenheim, Pushkin's publisher and managing director said: "I've long been an admirer of the incredible imprint Laura has built up at Daunt Books and look forward to having her acquire across the growing and varied Pushkin lists. I'm also excited about the market-knowledge that Laura will bring from her many years in the book trade. Daunt Books is undoubtedly one of the world's great independent chains, and I'm sure we'll benefit enormously from her front line experience."
Macaulay commented: "Daunt Books Publishing has been a unique experience, and I've been fortunate to work with some exceptional authors and colleagues. I've learnt so much from the decades of intrinsic knowledge at Daunt Books. From my earliest bookselling days I've loved the Pushkin list, and under Adam's leadership it has become one of the most remarkable publishers in the U.K."
