Where it all started
I’ve worked in publishing since 2001 when I joined my father Lionel Leventhal at Greenhill Books and Chatham Publishing. The imprints have a rich backlist of almost 1,000 military and maritime titles. The majority of these books are still in print, in English and many other languages.
Greenhill Books
In 2016, I relaunched the Greenhill Books publishing programme and, at the same time, I launched a Jewish children’s book imprint named Green Bean Books. You can read the Bookseller magazine report about it here and here
The History Press
I spent two years at The History Press establishing a new publishing military and transport programme. I’m proud of many of the books commissioned and published during this period, including James Waterson’s book on Vlad the Impaler.
Frontline Books
I established the Frontline Books imprint, part of the Pen & Sword group, in 2007 and I was responsible for commissioning and publishing more than 100 bestselling works including He Was My Chief, by Christa Schroeder, John H Gill’s 1809 Thunder on the Danube trilogy and Joel Greenberg’s Gordon Welchman biography.
Green Bean Books
After I became a father I spent more time looking at children’s books. I established a new Jewish children’s book imprint, dedicated to publishing inspiring new stories with Jewish content, as well as translating brilliant Hebrew works into English and resurrecting classic Yiddish tales for a new audience.
A little something extra
Shalom magazine and more
You can read a piece I wrote for Muswell Hill synagogue’s Shalom magazine, or one that I wrote for Elstree and Borehamwood’s Link magazine.
Bookseller Magazine
Finally, I have been interviewed by the Bookseller magazine, Publisher’s Weekly and other journals and leading bloggers including Barbara Bietz and World Kit Lit.
