I was Senior Publicity Manager for John Murray Press. My particular focus was on non fiction books (history, business, self help, biography, and 'ideas' books) and literary fiction.
Highlights included:
• Running a successful author visit for Laszlo Bock: Head of People Operations at Google, and author of Work Rules!: Insights from Inside Google that will Transform how you Live and Lead. Laszlo was interviewed for the Guardian, various BBC outlets, key business press, spoke to hundreds of students at the London School of Economics as well as influential business groups at a London Business Forum event.
• Turning authors into bestsellers and turning their books into news stories: Rolf Dobelli, author of The Art of Thinking Clearly. As part of his campaign I organized a visit to the Guardian offices where he gave a talk to the Guardian staff on why news is bad for you. This turned into Rolf writing an article which was shared over 115,000 times, and led to further interviews in the press and broadcast media.
• Winning pitches: I was been part of a successful team to win books at auction. These have included securing the books of Susan Calman, Trevor Noah, Costa book award nominee Susan Beale, and Eric Schmidt of Google.
• Launching new lists: in February 2015 we launched a new list within the John Murray Press imprint: JM Originals. Coverage included trade press and reviews across the board from the Sunday Times to the Daily Mail, Spectator and Guardian.
