It’s the end of the week so perfect time to say my ✨ some news ✨ is that I’ve now joined the team at @HarperNorthUK as Publicity Manager! Had a ball at @Collins4Parents and now it’s time to shout about books in the North!
I’m 2 days away from starting maternity leave so am DELIGHTED to be (temporarily) leaving on this news - shortlisted for @publicitycircle Awards for my PR Campaign for @SpudManArmy’s brilliant cookbook 🥔 thanks always to the amazing @HarperNorthUK team ✨
The Publishers’ Publicity Circle (@publicitycircle) has announced the shortlists for the 2024 PPC Annual Awards, which celebrate the best campaigns carried out by book publicists 👇 https://t.co/W3Fmcuwvh5
Next up we have @Hilary_Alison who is the Publicity Manager at HarperNorth, an imprint of HarperCollins established in 2020. She has previously worked at Collins, Farshore and The Bookseller.
This has made me think a lot about event economics - as I think those numbers may surprise people too.
I don't have time to do a full breakdown, but on a very back-of-the-envelope level, an author coming from say London to Manchester for a bookshop event might look as follows:
A very happy publication day and, of course, abso-bloody-lutely hilarious 1-2-1 chat with the amazing @Sacha_Lord and @lukebainbridge to celebrate the launch of TALES FROM THE DANCEFLOOR, which is out today, at the most epic launch ever.
It was great chatting to @krishgm about upside-down management and the importance of building a work culture embedded in kindness for the Ways to Change the World podcast. The episode will be available next week and The Happy Index publishes on Thursday @HarperNorthUK
Biggest congrats to @ebarkerwhite for being selected as one of Reader's Digest's most anticipated books of this year!
'It's marketed as perfect for fans of @audrain's THE PUSH. Let's just say this debut thriller delivered'
