HarperNonFiction has promoted Lydia Good to editorial director as it expands its editorial team as well as its gift and IP publishing programme.
As part of this growth strategy commissioning editor Good has been promoted to editorial director and three editorial roles have been created. Harriet Dobson recently joined HarperNonFiction as editor from Square Peg while Omara Elling-Hwang, one of the 2019 BAME traineeship intake, has been appointed editorial assistant. The division is currently recruiting for a commissioning editor to join the team.
HarperNonFiction publisher Ed Faulkner said: "It is an incredibly exciting time at HarperNonFiction, as we look to invest in future growth. Lydia’s commercial eye, ability to spot trends and build new publishing partnerships is outstanding and it has been great to see the success of her books including The Little Book of Sloth Philosophy, The Halloumi Cookbook and the Sunday Times bestseller Extraordinary Insects. We congratulate Lydia on her well-deserved promotion and welcome Omara and Harriet to the team."
Good added: "HarperNonFiction is an incredibly creative and dynamic place to be right now. I am thrilled to have Harriet and Omara on board to continue expanding our unique gift and IP list; reaching new demographics through creative approaches. Harriet’s eye for commercial trend-led books and Omara’s passion and commitment to creating the best books we can have already made invaluable contributions to our list."
