Manchester University Press appoints Tom Dark as new trade publisher
Manchester University Press (MUP) has appointed Tom Dark as new trade publisher. Dark previously served as head of books at Edinburgh University Press. This appointment marks a return to MUP for Tom, where he had previously worked shaping its trade list. MUP’s trade list, launched in 2020, has seen year-on-year growth.
During his previous tenure at MUP, Tom commissioned a number of bestsellers in MUP’s trade catalogue, including The Value of a Whale by Adrienne Buller; Me, Not You by Alison Phipps; and Culture Is Bad for You by David O’Brien, Orian Brook and Mark Taylor.
Editorial director, Emma Brennan, said: "Tom’s return to MUP comes at the perfect time for the Press’s development. As Trade Publisher, he will oversee the continued expansion of the list, with a focus on commissioning bold, high impact works which align with MUP’s commitment to academic excellence and public engagement."
Dark said: "I’m thrilled to continue the exciting trajectory of this unique and innovative non-fiction list. Watch this space for many more eye-catching titles to come."
