Alyza Liu – Editor

I am an editor at Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, where I've been proud to work on a wide range of award-winning and bestselling picture books and novels. Books I've acquired have been #1 New York Times bestsellers; William C. Morris Award finalists; IndieNext Picks; Horn Book, Bank Street, Kirkus, and Chicago Public Library Best Books of the Year; and ALA Notable Recordings, among other honors.

I love helping authors shape and polish their manuscripts, and particularly excel at large-scale restructures and finding and honing the emotional heart of a narrative. I'm always excited to brainstorm and bounce ideas around, and look forward to being a collaborative and supportive aid to telling the story of your heart!
