People, Etc.

February 12, 2019
By Erin Somers

Simon Trewin has left William Morris Endeavor after 6 years to start his own agency, Simone Trewin Ltd., representing authors, brands and entrepreneurs in the areas of art, culture, digital, literature, and live events. Trewin says in part, “This is a chance to return to my roots in the entertainment industry and I am looking forward to making live events, theatre and film production part of the mix of my new endeavor. I have authors who I would go to the wall for and they will always be my first priority but I can’t wait to get to work on seeing what else is out there too.”

Jennifer Civiletto has been promoted to associate director, publishing for the Harper Group, overseeing all aspects of backlist publishing and continuing to serve as the imprint lead for metadata initiatives.

Emer Flounders has been promoted to senior publicity manager at Harlequin, working on Hanover Square Press, Park Row Books and Mira.

Kristina Fazzalaro has joined Viking/Penguin as senior publicist. Most recently, she was publicist at Hachette, working on PublicAffairs, Bold Type Books, and The Economist Books.

At House of Anansi Press and Groundwood Books, Karen Brochu has been promoted to the new position of vp, sales and marketing. Additionally, Laura Brady has been promoted to director, cross-media department; Erica Mojzes moves up to rights associate; and Paige Lindsay has joined the company as bookshop associate.
