Tonia Shuttleworth, Koa Press

By Featured Members, G - L

Name: Tonia Shuttleworth
Role: Director
Company: Koa Press

My first job in publishing was: As an art director at a contract publishing house in London almost 20 years ago! I started working in contract magazines, and gradually moved through to styling and art directing in the food/lifestyle sector for the major (and minor) UK book publishers.

I’m currently reading: I’m not much of a novel reader, and I love pouring over cookbooks with interesting backstories and incredible reportage and food photography – currently I’m reading La Vita è Dolce by Letitia Clark.

My biggest career highlight in publishing has been: So many highlights! But if I had to choose it would be publishing the first Koa Press title, Petal Power. A wonderful debut title produced with an incredible author, Julia Atkinson-Dunn. The book proved hugely popular and sold out within one year. We are now about to release her third title, and the sixth Koa Press title.

Hope Lenzen, Bateman Books

By A - F, Featured Members, G - L

Name: Hope Lenzen
Role: Publishing Assistant
Company: Bateman Books

My first job in publishing was: This one! I am the Publishing Assistant for Bateman Books and I do almost everything you can think of. I oversee our submissions inbox, apply for various book and publishing awards, send out advance and review copies to authors/illustrators, create and maintain NTI’s, create sales kits, honestly the list goes on! I’m still new and settling in, so I assume more jobs will be handed to me as time progresses and I find my feet. I couldn’t be more excited!

I’m currently reading: Mostly submissions… but when I get a quiet moment at home, I am currently re-reading Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. 

The thing that has surprised me most since I started my job is: Not surprising per say but eye opening. You never stop learning in the publishing industry! I knew I would have much more to learn after my time on the Whitireia Publishing Course and the team here at Bateman Books have been so generous with their knowledge.

The thing I like best about working in publishing is: Being completely surrounded by all thing’s books. There are so many moving parts in the publishing world, and I get to watch, if not be a part of, all of them. I’ve only been at Bateman Books for a short time, but I’ve already had the chance to spend some time in the warehouse and be involved in production and allocation meetings.
