Farshore promotes Lamm and Rogers

Farshore has announced two promotions in its picture book and non-fiction creative team. Emily Lamm has taken up the position of deputy editorial director, while Harriet Rogers becomes art director. 

Previously senior commissioning editor at the imprint, Lamm recently acquired new projects from Leigh Hodgkinson, Rachel Emily, Suzy Senior and Barry Falls, who was shortlisted for the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize. She continues to report to publishing director Melissa Fairley. 

Fairley said: “Emily Lamm is a creative editor with a passion for picture books. She has her finger on the trend pulse and a great instinct for finding new storytellers. I’m looking forward to seeing what Emily acquires next and I know her authors are in the best possible hands to take their careers from strength to strength.”
