Freestone joins Quercus

After announcing her resignation from Hutchinson as its publishing director, Sue Freestone has decided her next move is to stay in the business – by joining Quercus as publisher of its independent trade division.

The Bookseller’s Alison Bone reports that the move, effective September 2006, will allow Freestone to develop her own list at the publisher (which was founded by former Orion and Century boss Anthony Cheetham and launched last October), and will also be a director on the company’s board.
