The Society of Authors welcomes four new members to its Management Committee (board) this November.
SoA members Kester Brewin, Lexie Elliott, Stella Oni and Stewart Hotston will join the board to support the organisation in our mission.
The new board members will begin their terms following the SoA’s AGM in November 2026.
Welcoming the new Management Committee Members, Chair of the Management Committee, Vanessa Fox O’Loughlin, said:
“We’re really looking forward to welcoming our new board members who, between them, bring a wealth of experience from a wide variety of areas. The next few years are crucial for our work at the SoA as we keep-up our pressure for authors’ rights under our new brand. Our four new members are talented, passionate, and hugely qualified for the task of advocating for the author community – we can’t wait for them to start.”
As there were four nominees and four available places, no election was required this year.
