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.

Adrienne was amazing to work with! I learned so much about myself in redrafting my story. Adrienne helped me understand how to get more personal with my characters and further explore the world within my book. She was the last piece of the puzzle to me feeling like I’ve finally completed my story.
