Of the Publishing Persuasion - With Associate Editor Ruqayyah Daud

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.
