From 1st July 2014, Simon & Schuster will take on responsibility for selling Summersdale's gift, humour, health, travel and general non-fiction titles into the majority of the UK trade and Ireland customer base. It will also sell its new stationery imprint Huck & Pucker.
Warehousing and distribution of Summersdale products will continue to be fulfilled by Littlehampton Book Services.
Alastair Williams, m.d of Summersdale, said: "We are delighted to have secured the experience, dynamism and reach of the Simon & Schuster sales team to ensure the continued growth of the Summersdale list. I am sure it will prove to be an extremely strong and fruitful alliance.”
