Molly O’Neill is an Editor at Katherine Tegen Books, an imprint of HarperCollins Children’s Books, where she edits both literary and commercial projects—everything from picture books to middle grade to young adult novels. She seeks vivid stories, original voices, and manuscripts with a strong sense of place or that ask interesting “what if” questions—in short, the kind of books that keep readers thinking and imagining, long after the last page.

Before becoming an editor (her dream job!), Molly worked on the Marketing/Publicity side of the industry, first at Clarion Books and then at HarperCollins. A few of the books that she’s publishing in 2011 are: A Dog’s Way Home, by Bobbie Pyron; Divergent, by Veronica Roth; and A Christmas Goodnight by Nola Buck & illustrated by Sarah Jane Wright.
