Bluebird

Meet the team

• 

  Associate Publisher

  Jodie Lancet-Grant (she/her)

  As Associate Publisher I both run the division's Communications department, covering marketing, publicity and digital, and commission titles in the LGBTQ+ space. I also work closely with Carole on list shape and strategy. I have been at Pan Macmillan since 2012, and was previously Head of Fiction Marketing.

• 

  Managing Editor

  Martha Burley (she/her)

  I edit and project manage a wide range of titles on the Bluebird list, primarily working closely with authors and managing the creative teams on our cookbooks. My specialist area is cookery but I also work across our diet, food and drink reference and international co-edition titles.

• 

  Senior Commissioning Editor

  Hockley Raven Sloane (she/her)

  Since joining the team in 2016, I have worked across the Bluebird list editing and project managing titles through every stage of a book's life. I commission across the Bluebird list with an additional focus on our sustainability imprint, One Boat. I'm looking for authors whose ideas shed new light on areas that have the potential to change lives – through practical tips, information or lived experience. Our list has a shared sense of compassion, empathy and community. Readers will close a Bluebird book with a renewed feeling of connection to others, themselves or the natural world.

  Head of Publicity

  Amy Winchester (she/her)

  As Head of Publicity for Bluebird and One Boat, I plan and deliver year-round campaigns for our brand authors, as well as shaping corporate PR strategy for the imprints. I have worked in book and publishing comms for 12 years, most recently in-house at HarperCollins and Unbound.

  Project Editor

  Katy Denny (she/her)

  I work across the Bluebird and One Boat lists on both the colour illustrated and mono books, shepherding each one through the editorial process. I also oversee processes and systems for the team as a whole.

• 

  Marketing Manager

  Sian Gardiner (she/her)

  As Bluebird's marketer, I plan and deliver creative campaigns for our titles with the aim of bringing them to the attention of as many readers as possible. These campaigns run across all media platforms, everywhere from social media to outdoor advertising. I also run Bluebird's social media channels, showcasing our books and building the Bluebird community.

• 

  Marketing Executive

  Annie Rose (she/her)

  I work closely with authors to plan and deliver creative marketing campaigns. I joined Pan Macmillan in 2022 with a background in digital marketing and a love of design. I love creating beautiful assets for social media and finding exciting ways to use a variety of digital platforms to bring our books to as many readers as possible.

  I provide support to the editorial team at Bluebird and One Boat, helping to manage editorial and administrative processes across the full range of our lists. I also cooperate closely with other departments to assist with the day-to-day management of all our titles.
