We had the absolute honor of speaking with associate editor, Ruqayyah Daud, at Little, Brown Books for Young Readers.
Not only is she an amazing editor with a passion for books, but she’s an awesome person too!
A bit more about Ruqayyah:
I am an associate editor at Little, Brown Books for Young Readers working on/looking to acquire picture books, middle grade, and young adult novels. I previously interned at MCPG's Swoon Reads imprint and Simon and Schuster's Aladdin and Simon Pulse imprints. I am currently pursuing my M.S. in Publishing from Pace University.
My favorite books almost always feature compelling and complex characters who linger in my mind after reading. I enjoy everything from realistic contemporary books to gripping fantasies that sweep you away.
Thanks for joining us, @daudrs We know our listeners will LOVE hearing all you have to say.
