Pan Macmillan will this autumn launch a children’s book imprint within Macmillan Children’s Books (MCB), to be run by Suzanne Carnell. Carnell is currently publishing director of picture books and pre-school of the MCB Under 6 division. Under the new imprint, which is yet to be named, she will publish around 12 books annually.
