About the Editor
Carolyn Kelly joined Avid Reader Press in January 2019 after interning for Writers House, the Frances Goldin Literary Agency, and W. W. Norton & Company. Her titles include Too Soon by Betty Shamieh, Bad Tourists by Caro Carver, Pretty Baby by Chris Belcher, and 100,000 First Bosses: My Unlikely Path as a 22-Year-Old Lawmaker by Will Haskell. She is interested in editing literary and upmarket fiction with an emphasis on familial sagas, big-hearted storytelling at the intersection of grief and humor, and speculative stories, as well as narrative nonfiction and memoir from original voices and perspectives. A native Chicagoan and lifelong Cubs fan, Carolyn moved to New York after graduating from Princeton University summa cum laude with a degree in English.
