Hermione Thompson


Hermione Thompson is a British book editor.
Thompson joined the editorial group at Hamish Hamilton in 2019.
Since becoming an editor, Thompson has published the works of Avni Doshi, Ekow Eshun, Sophie Mackintosh, Sarah Elaine Smith, Lara Williams and Rafia Zakaria.
Mackintosh’s book The Water Cure was the first book that Thompson bought. Thompson stated after reading the book, “The Water Cure is an astonishing novel: it unfolds seductively, like a dream, yet speaks urgently to the concerns of our own world. It heralds the arrival of a radical new voice in literary fiction.”
She has helped to edit many books, including: Shafak’s The Architect's Apprentice, Claire Harman’s Charlotte Brontë: A Life, Rachel Lichtenstein’s Estuary: Out from London to the Sea and Lara Williams‘s Supper Club.
