Bounce to Provide Representation for Scholastic
London, 26 th January 2012 – Scholastic Ltd and Bounce! Sales and Marketing Ltd
today announce a new business partnership, which will be effective immediately.
Bounce has an extensive field sales team with a comprehensive reach across the UK,
in traditional and non-traditional outlets. Scholastic recognises that working with
Bounce is an opportunity to improve sales and also to reinforce Scholastic’s
relationships with independent and specialist accounts.

continue exactly as before. Both teams will work closely with Bounce to maximise
the benefits of this new relationship. Distribution of Scholastic and Chicken House
titles continues to be provided by HarperCollins.

wide range of books for all ages, including best-sellers and award-winners such as
The Hunger Games, Horrible Histories®, Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, Eva
Ibbotson, Philip Pullman and Klutz's innovative book and craft packs.
Bounce! Sales and Marketing Ltd will now represent all Scholastic and Chicken
House books to independent and specialist accounts. This will cover all of
Scholastic’s imprints, including: Scholastic Children’s Books, Scholastic Education
titles, Marion Lloyd Books, Alison Green Books and Klutz.
Hilary Murray Hill, MD of Publishing at Scholastic UK, says: “This strategic decision
reflects Scholastic’s plans for growth and acknowledges the changing landscape of
the trade. We are pleased to be moving this element of our trade representation to
Bounce in order to offer those customers an improved service and we look forward to
working with Robert Snuggs and his team.”
Robert Snuggs, MD of Bounce! Sales and Marketing Ltd, says: “Everyone at Bounce
is thrilled that we are now looking after sales for Scholastic in the Trade. It is a
tremendous list and one that offers great opportunities for Booksellers. We’re
