HCCP Execs Shift As Publishing Program Expands

HarperCollins Christian Publishing (HCCP) announced three changes to its publishing leadership in a push to grow its content and reach. 

Daisy Blackwell Hutton, previously fiction publisher for Thomas Nelson and Zondervan, is being promoted to v-p and publisher for the W Publishing Group, a nonfiction imprint of Thomas Nelson.

Amanda Bostic, previously associate publisher for Thomas Nelson and Zondervan fiction, is being promoted to publisher for HCCP's fiction program.

Matt Baugher, formerly senior v-p and publisher for the W Publishing Group, will take on the newly created role of senior v-p of author and partnership development. In the new role, Baugher will concentrate primarily on discovering and developing new relationships for both Thomas Nelson and Zondervan.

"These changes to our publishing programs allow us to take a proactive lead to drive growth and expansion of our business and partnership with our authors to reach new readers," said Mark Schoenwald, president and CEO of HCCP.

The new roles for Hutton, Bostic, and Baugher are effective immediately under the guidance of senior v-p and HCCP group publisher David Moberg. Additional details about the new publishing program were not available.
