Bowen to cover Morris’ parental leave as acting publishing director for Ebury Self Hub

Anna Bowen, Ebury’s head of campaigns, has moved over to become acting publishing director for Ebury’s Self Hub to cover publishing director Olivia Morris’ parental leave.

Bowen will work alongside editorial director Sam Jackson, senior commissioning editor Holly Whitaker, and senior editor Anya Hayes.

Andrew Goodfellow, Ebury publisher, said: “We are all publishers at Ebury, and that’s true of nobody more than Anna, who shows insight, clear vision, leadership, composure and passion around what we want to publish. We’re lucky to have such strong acquirers across the team and Anna will guide the newly ambitious commissioning strategy."

Bowen said: “This is such an exciting time for Ebury’s Self hub, with our dynamic team delivering major successes this year including Outlive by Peter Attia, My Friend Anne Frank by Hannah Pick-Goslar, and Build the Life You Want by Arthur C Brooks and Oprah Winfrey.

“I feel proud to be leading the brilliant publishing team that Olivia has built, and I look forward to taking the hub from strength to strength with a talented new campaigns team on board and a truly inspiring 2024 line-up, including Fearne Cotton, Gabor Maté, Paul Brunson and Ed Winters.”

While Bowen is covering Morris’ publishing role, Alice Gordge has joined the Self Hub Campaigns team as senior marketing manager. She comes to Ebury on secondment from Penguin General and will work with existing senior campaigns manager Ellie Crisp and the rest of the team, including new arrivals Jasleen Dhindsa, publicity officer, who has joined from music PR agency DawBell, campaigns manager Jaini Haria from Kogan Page and recent graduates Shikha Jajoo (marketing executive) and Britney Bioh (campaigns assistant).
