Eileen Rothschild, says: 


“I started my publishing career at Macmillan in 2007 working on math and chemistry textbooks. Since then, I have held roles in sales and marketing with the ultimate goal of finding an audience for fantastic and unique voices. I fell in love with the excitement of reading a special new voice for the first time and have found my true passion in editorial. As an Executive Editor I use the skills learned in my various roles to help create lasting careers.


I gravitate toward commercial stories with a fabulous hook and a captivating voice. I am always on the lookout for the type of read that stays with you long after you finish the last page. The one that makes you fall in love, cry and jump for joy. Maybe even all at once! My list includes New York Times bestsellers Fable by Adrienne Young, The Gilded Wolves Series by Roshani Chokshi, What the River Knows by Isabel Ibanez, Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross and You’ve Reached Sam by Dustin Thao.”
