Romina Panetta is the new Senior Cover Designer at Allen & Unwin, replacing Lisa White who left the company earlier this month to take up the role of Head of Design at HarperCollins.

For the past seven years Romina worked at Harlequin where she predominately worked on commercial fiction titles, including rural romance, historical, crime and general fiction. Prior to this role Romina worked in advertising and as a freelance designer.

Romina said she was “really excited about my new role at Allen and Unwin and can’t wait to get started on their broad range of titles. They have a great team here and I am thrilled to be working for the Australian Book Industry Awards’ 2016 Publisher of the Year.”
