Zoe Berville has been appointed senior commissioning editor within the Bantam non-fiction editorial team at Transworld.
She joins from her role as commissioning editor at HQ where she has published Tom Daley’s Coming Up for Air and commissioned social media star Alex Light’s You Are Not A Before Picture.
Berville will join Transworld on 30th May and will report to deputy publishing director Kate Fox.
Her new role will see her commission into Transworld’s more commercial non-fiction publishing with a special focus on pop culture, zeitgeisty topics and entertainment.

Fox said: “I am thrilled that Zoe is bringing her keen commercial eye and publishing flair to the Bantam list. With a real talent for spotting up-and-coming voices and brilliant brand management, I know she will be a tremendous asset to Bantam’s blockbuster list.”
Berville added: “I’m delighted to be joining the stellar team at Transworld, particularly at such an exciting time for the division. I will miss my talented colleagues and wonderful authors at HQ, but look forward to working with Kate and Henry to build on Bantam’s many successes, and take the list from strength to strength.”
