Adrienne Procaccini – Editor

Former Amazon Publishing editor w/15 yrs experience, specializing in SFF and nonfiction pop culture. Query review, assessments, dev editing.

Overview

I have a master's degree in publishing from New York University and nearly two decades of experience in both trade and digital publishing, beginning at both boutique and large New York literary agencies. I later moved from selling to buying and spent nearly a decade at Amazon Publishing, with a particular acquisition focus on fantasy, science fiction, historical fiction, and young adult. I am currently working at a pop culture art book publisher in licensed acquisitions. I've worked with New York Times bestselling authors including Grady Hendrix and Amy Harmon and award-winners like Charlie N. Holmberg and S.B. Divya.


I'm up-to-date on market trends and have a particular interest in promoting diverse voices. I enjoy commercial content when paired with upmarket writing. The authors I've worked with describe me as responsive, with exceptional communication skills, and as a detail-oriented, skilled strategic thinker.
