The rise and rise of Jared Bland, from Walrus intern to head of M & S

Hired as an intern at The Walrus magazine in 2007 and rising rapidly to be the magazine's managing editor, Jared Bland's career trajectory has been since then steeply upward. 

He became a senior editor at the House of Anansi then was named in March 2013 as the Globe and Mail's books editor and, a year later, its arts editor. 

Now he has jumped to the publishing side, so to speak, having been named publisher of McClelland and Stewart and vice-president of Penguin Random House Canada. As such, he is also responsible for Hazlitt, the PRH online magazine.
