Charlotte, NC—The Good Book Company is delighted to announce the appointment of Jonathan Pountney as their new Head of Editorial, starting February 1.
Jonathan brings over a decade of experience in publishing, having worked in academia, as a writing consultant, and most recently as Editorial Director at 10ofthose, where he helped acquire and edit authors such as David Platt, Alistair Begg, and Colin Smith. He will oversee the continuing growth of TGBC’s offering for both adults and children, managing the editorial team to provide biblical, accessible, and relevant resources for the local church.
“I’ve admired Jonathan’s work for several years,” said Carl Laferton, Publisher and Co-CEO at TGBC. “But more than that, I’ve appreciated his graciousness and kingdom-hearted approach whenever our working lives have brought us into contact. Every author with whom I’ve spoken who has worked with Jonathan speaks very highly of his work, and I have no doubt that he will further enhance our reputation for providing expert, dedicated partnership to our authors at every point of the book-writing journey.
“Jonathan is joining us at an exciting time as we continue to enjoy rapid growth, and I’m excited to get to work with him and to see how the Lord will use his passion for publishing and his heart for people in his new role here.”
Jonathan said, “I am delighted to be joining TGBC. I have used their resources for much of my life and love their passion for creating biblical, relevant and accessible books. I am grateful to 10ofthose for the thirteen years of opportunities to grow in my own skills and knowledge of publishing while contributing to their mission of creating trustworthy, gospel-focused resources. I’m looking forward to this new chapter of serving the Lord through the work and ministry of The Good Book Company.”
