Emilia Sowersby

Emilia Sowersby is an assistant editor at Roaring Brook Press, at Macmillan Children’s Publishing Group.

She was born in Japan and grew up in Las Vegas and Colorado; then she went to Brown University where she studied Literary Arts and Public Health. She’s always used books to escape into new worlds, and she’s particularly fond of YA fantasy that plays off of familiar tropes, but still manages to surprise her, gripping romance, and genre-bending. Otherwise, she is also a board game enthusiast, MMORPG obsessed, and forever a fangirl.

She is currently acquiring YA and middle grade novels, as well as select picture books. She is open to all genres, but is especially interested in fantasy, anything historical, anything with romance, and always cutting edge stories that may address social issues. She loves smart escapism, detailed world-building, and stories that make her laugh and cry in the same chapter.

You can find her hiding in the shadows of twitter, or see her LinkedIn.
