Never in my life did I think my love, passion and commitment to storytelling would take me to the heights of being a MD and Board member within the second biggest publishing company globally. I am so proud that @hachetteuk is my home and I can’t wait to take @dialoguebooks to unfathomed heights. In becoming a division - which has never been done before - we have an extraordinary opportunity to walk firmly in our mission of INSPIRATION, INNOVATION & INCLUSION and I am excited to get started. I am deeply thankful to our brilliant authors for inspiring us with their work, their agents for knowing Dialogue was more than a diversity imprint, the exceptionally talented team core @millieseaward @emilys_library @amymaereads and a huge dollop of @celestewb for always going above and beyond and pushing Dialogue to new heights and to all booksellers and critics who championed our books and readers who read, responded and recommended our narratives. I owe debt of gratitude to Clare Smith @charleskingesq & David Shelley for championing and believing in me and giving me space as well as challenging me to be better and bolder. Love to my friends for lifting me up and my family for everything. Today, I can say I am beyond my ancestors wildest dreams. 🖤
