Capstone Publishers, the leading publisher of children’s books in the U.S. education market, has named Pamela Sader as its new Vice President of Sales and Marketing for its
Heinemann-Raintree U.S. imprint, which includes more than 6,000 nonfiction titles in its collection. Sader will lead Heinemann-Raintree’s U.S.-based business efforts and will report to Miles Stevens-Hoare, managing director of the Heinemann-Raintree imprint.
“We’re extremely excited to have Pamela on board and look forward to her leading the revitalization of the Heinemann-Raintree brand,” said Stevens-Hoare. “Her extensive experience in educational publishing will be a valuable asset as we look for opportunities for growth.”
Sader has more than 18 years experience in educational publishing, most recently as Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing of Gareth Stevens Publishing, where she managed all editorial development and execution, and supervised all sales and marketing channels including classroom, library, international, retail, educational dealer, and gift markets. Prior to joining Gareth Stevens Publishing, Sader worked for eight years
at Scholastic Library Publishing as Vice President of Marketing.
“It’s an honor to be given the opportunity to continue to build the Heinemann-Raintree business,” said Sader. “Both Heinemann-Raintree and Capstone Publishers have an impressive reputation, a focus on the customer, and a talented team of people. I look forward to building on the established culture, and strategically growing the businesses in the future.”
Sader was an initiating board member of the Center for the International Study in School Librarianship at Rutgers University, and is a graduate of Clark University in Worcester, Mass.
Sader will be based out of the publisher’s Chicago office and begin her new position in July. Capstone Publishers acquired Heinemann-Raintree from Pearson in September 2008. The appointment of a U.S.-based vice president reflects the company’s commitment to building its business in the U.S. to better serve the needs of librarians, teachers, and young readers.
