Meanwhile in publicity, Zhou has been promoted to senior publicity manager following "outstanding work and author care" over the past three years, with authors including Claudia Hammond, Tahmima Anam, Maaza Mengiste and Haig.
Huckstep has been promoted to publicity executive, in recognition of the "superb" campaigns she has run recently including My Rock’n’Roll Friend, Gray Day, The Time Thief and A River Called Time. Both continue to report to publicity director Anna Frame.
