Picador promotes Andrea Henry, Anne Meadows and Orla King

Picador has announced a series of promotions within its editorial team featuring Andrea Henry, Anne Meadows and Orla King. 

Henry – currently editorial director – has been promoted to publishing director for non-fiction. Henry has recently published such highly-acclaimed titles such as Jenny Kleeman’s The Price of Life and Ben Judah’s This is Europe. Henry will continue to report into Picador publisher Mary Mount. 

Mount said: “In her two years at Picador, Andrea has acquired and published a terrific array of non-fiction – she has leapt over the fence into fiction with the acquisition of The Secret Barrister’s thrilling first novel, The Cut-Throat Trial and acquired the ground-breaking The Science of Racism which has already garnered a fantastic US rights deal. She is key to the direction of Picador’s non-fiction publishing in the future.” 

Meadows – currently editorial director – is promoted to publishing director. Since joining Picador 18 months ago, she has won a series of competitive auctions to bring new writers to Picador. Kaveh Akbar’s New York Times highly-acclaimed, bestselling novel Martyr!, published this month, Louise Hegarty’s Fair Play and Hal Ebbott’s Among Friends are among several debuts she has acquired for the list. Meadows will continue to report into Mount.
