Sara Cywinski and Mike Harpley promoted to publisher at Pan with immediate effect
Sara Cywinski and Mike Harpley have been promoted to publisher, non-fiction, at Pan with immediate effect as part of "ambitious" plans to grow the imprint.
Cywinski will lead on Pan’s commercial non-fiction publishing and is preparing to publish Rick Astley’s autobiography Never and Lisa Marie Presley’s memoir, co-written with daughter Riley Keogh, From Here to the Great Unknown later this year. In 2025 Cywinski will publish Markus Zusak’s first non-fiction book and Dan Biggar’s The Biggar Picture.
Harpley will lead the narrative non-fiction list and carry on building the dedicated business imprint, Macmillan Business, which he set up last year. He will also commission broadly across non-fiction, including politics and sport. In autumn 2024, Harpley will publish Angela Merkel’s memoir and Alice Loxton’s Eighteen. Later titles will include books from former prime minister of New Zealand Jacinda Ardern and former Scotland’s first minister Nicola Sturgeon.
Managing director Lucy Hale commented: "I’m thrilled to announce these well-deserved promotions that will help us to grow and expand Pan’s non-fiction publishing even further. Mike and Sara are fantastic publishers and true experts in their areas. I’m immensely proud of what we’ve achieved at Pan over the past couple of years and I cannot imagine a stronger team of people to lead our non-fiction publishing into the future."
Publishing director Ingrid Connell will report to Cywinski alongside commissioning editor Lydia Ramah. Editor Ause Abdelhaq and assistant editor Ribh Brownlee will continue to report to Harpley and Jiri Greco, editorial assistant, will assist across Pan Non-Fiction and Macmillan Business.
