News from Bridget Williams Books

Bridget Williams is delighted to announce Tom Rennie’s appointment as associate publisher at Bridget Williams Books (BWB). Returning from the UK in late 2010, Tom has been developing BWB’s digital publishing programme. 

With a postgraduate degree in publishing from Oxford Brookes University, he brings to his new role five years experience at Cengage Learning in London, as both editor and publisher. His years with BWB began in fact years ago, as an intern and editorial assistant. Tom will be taking forward the digital publishing programme, as well as managing a number of titles and backlist sales – with a particular focus on the New Zealand Pregnancy Book. Bridget Williams says: ‘Tom’s knowledge of the digital world is invaluable, as is his sharp insight into New Zealand history and current issues – which lie at the heart of BWB’s publishing.’
