William Morrow announced late this afternoon that it had taken on two members of the publicity team from the recently dissolved ReganBooks, which was pretty easy considering that they’d never left the HarperCollins building. Sarah Burningham will retain the title of associate director in her new position, with Aurora Hughes joining her as an assistant publicist. Last year at Regan, the two had worked together on several PR campaigns, including those for books by Neal Boortz, Ralph Nader, and Frank Warren.
Contacted by email after the announcement, Burningham quipped back, “I’m thrilled to be working for the publisher whose books already take up so much space on my shelves.”
