People, Etc.

March 8, 2017
By Erin Somers

Sarah Bowlin and Ariel Foxman have joined Aevitas Creative Management as affiliate agents. Bowlin was most recently a senior editor at Holt, and will be working from her home in Los Angeles. Foxman was previously the editorial director of InStyle and StyleWatch.

At Portfolio/Sentinel, Niki Papadopoulos has been promoted to editorial director, Stephanie Frerich moves up to executive editor, and Leah Trouwborst is now associate editor.

In the UK, at the Blake Friedmann Agency, Julian Friedmann will become chairman of the company and Conrad Williams becomes head of the media department, with Isobel Dixon becoming head of the book department and Juliet Pickering moving up to vice head of the book department. The agency’s head of rights, Louise Brice, returns from parental leave in May and will join the board later in the year. Daisy Way has recently returned to the agency from Rogers, Coleridge and White to take on the new role of joint finance manager, sharing that position with Samuel Hodder, who continues in a contracts role as well.

Leah Stecher has been promoted to editor at Basic Books.
