Andrew Miller has been named president and publisher of Henry Holt, effective in mid-January. He is currently v-p, editorial director, nonfiction, at Knop and earlier held editorial roles at Vintage/Anchor Books as well as at Grove/Atlantic and St. Martin’s Press. He will take over from Jamie Raab, publisher-at-large, who has been leading Holt on an interim basis since August, when Amy Einhorn left to become senior v-p, publisher, Crown Fiction.
Miller has worked with such authors as John Carreyrou, George Packer, Casey Cep, Ken Burns, Bill Clinton, Cat Bohannon, and others. His bestselling titles include Bad Blood; Eve: How the Female Body Shaped 200 Million Years of Human History; The Art Thief: A True Story of Love, Crime, and a Dangerous Obsession; Built to Move: The Ten Essential Habits to Move Freely and Live Fully; Traffic; Fire Weather: A True Story from a Hotter World; Furious Hours; Gettysburg; and Inferno.
Jon Yaged, CEO of Macmillan Publishers, said, "From the moment I met Andrew, I knew he was the perfect person to lead Holt into the future. He is universally respected and has impeccable, wide-ranging taste. His passion for books and overall curiosity are contagious and matched only by his enthusiasm for collaboration, mentorship and elevating extraordinary writers. His personal success publishing outstanding nonfiction and his appreciation for smart, upmarket fiction match perfectly with Holt's more than 150-year legacy. I couldn't be happier to welcome Andrew to Holt and Macmillan."
Miller said, "I'm deeply honored and excited to be entrusted with the leadership of Henry Holt, a storied publisher with a long history of first-rate authors and books. It's not easy to leave a special place like Knopf, especially after 22 years, but this is the opportunity of a lifetime, and I am thrilled to join the exceptional team at Holt and Macmillan. I look forward to working with everyone to continue building a dynamic and ambitious list of nonfiction and fiction titles."
