Nicole Dewey, v-p, associate publisher and executive director of publicity at Little, Brown, is leaving the company at the end of April to become managing director of Shreve Williams Public Relations, effective May 1. The company, founded by Elizabeth Shreve and Suzanne Williams 10 years ago, called the appointment "a strategic move... to expand its platform offering the combined experience of three former executive level publicity directors to drive effective and ambitious campaigns for books and their creators in a progressively competitive news climate."
Before joining Little, Brown in 2010, Dewey was executive director of publicity for Holt, publicity director for Doubleday and began her career at Seven Stories Press. She has worked with such authors as Malala Yousafzai, Tim Weiner, Atul Gawande, Jane Mayer, Hilary Mantel, Ian McEwan, Kate Atkinson, Amy Cuddy, Emma Donoghue, Malcolm Gladwell, Gwen Ifill, Jodi Kantor, Sally Mann, Stephenie Meyer, Edna O'Brien, J.K. Rowling and Maria Semple. She is also co-board president of the Community of Literary Magazines and Presses.
At the same time, Sabrina Callahan has been promoted to executive director of publicity at Little, Brown, effective immediately. She joined the company in 2007 and has worked with such authors as James Patterson, Michael Connelly, Daniel Woodrell, Elizabeth Kostova, Lawrence Block, Uwem Akpan and Robert Wright.
Shreve said Dewey "brings not only her deep and varied experience, her monster intellect, and her great love of books but she brings the entrepreneurial vision that we need and want at this time for our company."
Williams added: "Nicole has been both friend and colleague to us throughout much of her impressive career. Her knowledge of the business of publishing and the media, paired with her passion for the authors and books, is both refreshing and inspiring."
