About the Editor
Anthea Bariamis is a publisher at Simon & Schuster Australia, where she has worked since 2018. Anthea publishes across a range of genres, with a focus on commercial and upmarket fiction.

Anthea is currently looking for stories with a twist, especially: paranormal romance with laugh-out-loud dialogue, cosy fantasy novels with heart, emotional romance and book club fiction that makes readers cry, jaw-dropping horror and thrillers, gripping romantic suspense, crossover young adult fiction, immersive historical novels, enthralling fantasy with excellent plotting, and timeless love stories set against sweeping landscapes. Anthea is also looking for non-fiction books that inspire and entertain young women.
