At the John Murray Publishing Group, we publish books of excellence and lasting value written by authors with passion and expertise. Our fiction imprints include John Murray, Quecus, Baskerville, Dialogue, Riverrun and MacLehose. From Navessa Allen, Mick Herron and Lucy Steeds to David Attenborough we're home to popular fiction and non-fiction writers alongside some of the most progressive new voices.

John Murray Publishing Group is a division of Hachette, one of the largest publishing groups in the UK, with 10 publishing divisions and over 60 imprints. Everyone here is proud to be in the business of opening doors and minds.

As the Publishing Director at Arcadia you will have a bold and ambitious plan to build our thriving science fiction, fantasy and horror list. Home to prize-winning, bestselling authors and cult classics, our authors include Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone, E J Swift, Sebastian de Castell, India Holton, Silvia Moren Garcia and Lindsay Straube and have won the Arthur C. Clarke, Hugo, Nebula and Locus Awards. This is a fantastic opportunity for a passionate and experienced publisher with a deep knowledge of this area of the market and a proven track record. You will also be responsible for the continued growth of our newest imprint, Renegade, a list with a remit to break rules in how it discovers and publishes writers. You should enjoy working collaboratively and creatively and be able to empower the team to anticipate the market, jump on trends and build brands.
