Colwell swaps HarperCollins for Head of Zeus

Kathryn Colwell is to join Head of Zeus as senior publicity manager later this month as the team continues to expand.

Currently a publicity manager for HarperCollins’ international publishing programme, Harper360, Colwell has more than eight years’ experience delivering campaigns for authors including Morgan Jerkins, Alyssa Cole, Sara Gay Forden, Jim Morrison, Donna Hay and Kate Leaver.

She will take up the position from 13th December, and will be overseeing the strategy of the Apollo Non-Fiction and Apollo Fiction imprints. 

Colwell said: “I’ve long admired Head of Zeus’ dynamic list and I’ve seen their high-quality commissioning give rise to creative and broad-reaching publicity campaigns. I’m hugely looking forward to being part of Kate’s brilliant team and joining Head of Zeus at a time when the company is going from strength to strength."

Head of publicity Kate Appleton added: "I am so happy to be expanding the publicity team further at Head of Zeus and welcoming Kathryn at such an exciting time for the company. Kathryn’s expertise and enthusiasm for literary and narrative non-fiction fits perfectly with our Apollo imprints and I can’t wait to start working with her on our 2022 list."
