Aevitas Creative Management   

Agents from Erin Murphy Literary Agency—Erin Murphy, Ammi-Joan Paquette, Tricia Lawrence, Kevin Lewis, and Miranda Paul—will join ACM, along with their clients. EMLA backlist titles will stay under the EMLA umbrella with Murphy supervising and business affairs staff Dennis Stephens and Susan Murrell will process payments for any title sold before January 31, 2025.

“When I began working on a succession plan last year, I spoke with many wonderful agencies whose people were generous with their time and information,” Murphy said. “I feel so fortunate to have found Aevitas, which ticks all the boxes for me. In addition to being able to immediately provide more support for five agents and more robust systems than we had at EMLA, ACM is full of warm people with esteemed lists, and adding EMLA’s authors and illustrators will increase the presence of ACM Kids & Illustration to the benefit of all. Joining ACM has been a joy, and I’m glad to be shifting roles to focus squarely on representing my clients again, while phasing out my role as agency head.”

Bloomsbury   

Colleen Lawrie will join the adult trade editorial department in the newly created role of editorial director of nonfiction, starting March 4. She was previously editorial director with Public Affairs/Hachette Book Group.

BookEnds Literary Agency   

James McGown has been promoted to senior literary agent.

Macmillan Children's   
Mina Chung has been promoted to art director.
Aliya Burke has joined 23rd Street Books as brand manager.
