Moves at RHCB and Andersen

06.01.12 | Charlotte Williams

Random House Children's Books and Andersen Press are making some changes to their editorial teams, with RHCB commissioning editor Ruth Knowles joining Andersen Press on a year's secondment.

Knowles will step into an acting editorial director for fiction role from Monday, 9th January, covering for Charlie Sheppard's maternity leave.

Meanwhile, during this period, Natalie Doherty will take on an acting editor role at RHCB and Kirsten Armstrong, who previously worked at David Fickling Books, will join as assistant editor.

Jessica Clarke has also been promoted to editor at RHCB, having joined the fiction team in June 2010.

RHCB fiction publisher Annie Eaton said: "Jess is a brilliantly creative editor who has shown great initiative on the many projects she has worked on. This is a well deserved promotion for a much valued member of the fiction team.

"We will miss Ruth this year, but the opportunity to take on such a senior role at Andersen Press is a very exciting one for her. I am delighted that Natalie will have an opportunity to take on more responsibility during 2012, and that Kirsten will be joining our team."
