Managing Director

If someone was to write a biography of your life, what would it be called?
I wish I had a name that rhymes easily. If I did, I could go down the line of one of my fave 90210 stars and do something like "Story Telling by Tori Spelling" (Google it. Sadly it does exist). If anyone can rhyme something with Besliev, email me. I won't accept chicken kiev.
What's your favourite part of your job?
There is not one bit I like over another, but it all seems to culminate on two specific days. 1. Advances Day: the day a book we've been working on comes in hot off the printing press. It smells so good, feels so welcoming and the cover screams 'open me'.
2. BookScan Day: the day we get sales data for the same book which we've now passed into the hands of the public. The data shows how many people have thought what we thought on Advances Day and actually bought the book as a result - it's always great to see how many people like what we've delivered.
