Background

About Leslie Bootle

A motivated and enthusiastic people-focused leader with 17 years of experience in the book publishing industry. I have a keen interest in building relationships and working collaboratively to achieve goals. No really, I mean it—I want to work together! I thrive on representing the hard-working people and companies in my industry, whether it’s at trade conferences, with business partners, or to audiences beyond our sector. With hands-on experience across sales, marketing, production, and editorial departments, I'm equally comfortable developing marketing strategy, combing through metadata, providing sales gap analysis, and introducing new-to-publishing folks to the fascinating business of books. Always willing to dig deeper and have the hard conversations, I relish finding opportunities and creative solutions to challenges—within the creative sector and beyond.
