Macmillan Children's Books communications director Katharine Smales has been appointed UK sales director for Walker Books.
Smales will take up her appointment in February 2014.
Ed Ripley, Walker Books' UK sales and marketing director, and group export sales director, said: "[Smales'] knowledge of the market combined with her strategic approach will ensure that she makes a real difference to our UK sales."
The appointment comes hard on the heels of another appointment in children's sales, with Bloomsbury children's sales director Phil Earle taking up a new post as sales and marketing director at David Fickling Books.
