Molly Rosenberg and Daljit Nagra will both stand down, as the society’s first-ever governance review is due to be published

The director of the Royal Society of Literature (RSL) will leave to “pursue new career opportunities” following a year that saw the organisation’s management facing intense scrutiny.

Molly Rosenberg will leave her post, which she has held since 2017, at the end of March. The society also announced that its chair, Daljit Nagra, will stand down at an annual general meeting on 15 January, as his four-year term is due to reach its end.
