Will Sulkin will be retiring from his role as publishing director of The Bodley Head in April 2012, with Stuart Williams, editorial director at Harvill Secker, to step into the position.
Sulkin's retirement in 2012 will end a 43-year love affair with publishing, which began in 1969 at Penguin Books. Sulkin described his time in publishing as "terrific", and added he was considering continuing to edit in a freelance capacity with Random House, claiming "it would be too much to go cold turkey".
