MACNEWS Bookseller Update from Macmillan Education
As we wrap up the final page of 2025, we pause to reflect on a year that has brought its share of challenges and triumphs. While the journey has not always been easy, it has highlighted the resilience and dedication that define us.
Celebrating the moments that mattered most From the meaningful connections at our Bookseller Events and the warmth of our virtual get-together to the success of National Book Week and the incredible milestone of Sophiatown reaching one million copies sold (page 6), these achievements remind us that progress is possible – even when the road feels steep. Looking ahead, we are excited about what 2026 holds. Expect fresh opportunities to connect and grow, including innovative campaigns and new product focuses like Little Learner Launchpad (page 14) – a resource designed to get little learners ready to thrive in school and beyond!
And don’t miss our Top 20 Titles for 2025 (page 10), showcasing the bestselling titles you helped make possible. Your support and dedication have been the driving force behind these successes.
Thank You! As the festive season approaches, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your perseverance and partnership. May this holiday season bring you peace, joy, and well-deserved rest. Together, let’s embrace the new year with optimism and determination. Warm regards, The Macmillan Team
