Penguin Random House Canada has announced several key appointments, most notably Stephanie Sinclair as publisher of McClelland & Stewart and the online magazine Hazlitt and vice-president of Penguin Random House Canada. She succeeds Jared Bland, who asked to step down from his duties after six years.
Sinclair, who assumes her position on Oct. 3, comes from CookeMcDermid Literary Management, where she was the top-ranked agent in the country in both fiction and non-fiction, according to Publishers Marketplace. She began that work in 2012 at the Transatlantic Agency, where she built up an all-star list of Indigenous authors including Billy-Ray Belcourt, Joshua Whitehead, Alicia Elliott, Jessica Johns and Lee Maracle.
Her predecessor, Bland, was appointed to the publisher’s position six years ago nearly to the day, coming from The Globe and Mail, where he was arts editor. In his reign as publisher, M&S books won the Amazon Canada First Novel Award, the Rogers Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize, the Governor-General’s Literary Award, three Kobo Emerging Writer Prizes, two Hilary Weston Writers’ Trust Prizes for Nonfiction, two Griffin Poetry Prizes, two Scotiabank Giller Prizes and the Booker Prize.
