Scribe appoints Philip Gwyn Jones as UK editor-at-large

We're delighted to announce we've made our first editorial appointment for our UK office, appointing former Granta Books publisher Philip Gwyn Jones to the part-time role of editor-at-large.

Scribe publisher Henry Rosenbloom says: 'I've been a huge admirer of his for several years, and we seem to have uncannily similar tastes and values. I had the idea for this job some time ago, without knowing whether Philip would be willing or able to take it on. As it happens, it seems like the right idea at the right time for both of us.'

Gwyn Jones will focus on acquiring rights to fiction and nonfiction titles by British and Irish writers, and will be involved in the structural editing of the acquired manuscripts and oversee their publication, as well as taking on a 'general ambassadorial role' for Scribe UK. Gwyn Jones says he will 'concentrate on just a handful of acquisitions each year â€¦ focusing exclusively on the bold and original in literary fiction, and the urgent and persuasive in idea-led nonfiction -- on books from these islands that might contend for prizes, in short'.
