About the Editor

Editor photo of Nicole Fiorica

Nicole Fiorica is an Editor who has been with McElderry Books since 2017. Acquiring teen, middle grade, and picture book titles, Nicole has the pleasure of working with a number of talented, bestselling, and award-winning authors including Amber Smith, Jonathan Graziano, Kit Frick, Leslie Barnard Booth, Laura E. Weymouth, Bethany Mangle, and Samantha Markum in addition to Susan Cooper, Cassandra Clare, Margaret Rogerson, F.T. Lukens, Amanda Foody, and many more. Nicole loves discovering new worlds that are easy to fall into, and heroes that can draw the reader in from the first page. She is on the hunt for narrative-driven picture books (fiction and nonfiction) that celebrate creativity and bravery—though mischief is always welcome. In middle grade, she is looking for humorous or big-hearted adventures that explore friendship, family, and belonging; and in YA she enjoys contemporary stories with sharply honest narrators as well as dark, romantic fantasies.
