David Graham next out at Granta

David Graham has resigned as managing director of Granta Publications and Portobello Books. His departure comes within a fortnight of the announcement of Granta Editor Alex Clark leaving the magazine.

In a short statement, the company said that queries previously directed to Graham should now be directed to Granta's owner and publisher Sigrid Rausing. There was no further comment.

Graham left Canongate in 2006 to become managing director of Granta Publications and Portobello Books

Granta was sold to Sigrid Rausing, the British based philanthropist and publisher, by its American owner Rea Hedermanm in 2005. Rausing already owned Portobello Books, which she founded with her husband Eric Abraham and former Flamingo publisher Philip Gwyn Jones in the same year.
