Imprints: Ballantine Books, Bantam, Delacorte/Dell

Alicia Clancy (she/her) is Editorial Director for Dell, acquiring a broad range of fiction, with a primary focus on all things romance, including big-hearted rom-coms, lush romantasy, delightfully tropey series of both the spicy and sweet variety, and epic, sweeping romance, in addition to select mystery, suspense, thrillers, women’s fiction, book club fiction, historical fiction, and grounded magical realism/speculative fiction projects for Bantam and Ballantine. Across all genres, she is particularly drawn to books with a uniquely engaging voice, high-concept hooks, jaw-dropping twists, clever genre-blending, cinematic pacing, and the ability to make her both laugh and cry within a matter of pages. Some of her recent titles include Anna McCallie’s Abby Offsides, Joss Richard’s It’s Different This Time, Bailey Hannah’s Wells Ranch Series, Paisley Hope’s Silver Pines Ranch series, Samantha Saldivar’s Play You For It, Tessonja Odette’s The Lies that Summon the Night, Sarah Fox’s Definitely Maybe Not a Detective, and Rachel Greenlaw’s The Ordeals. Previously, Alicia worked at Lake Union Publishing (Amazon Publishing) and St. Martin’s Press (Macmillan Publishers), where she had the immense pleasure of working with authors including Sylvia Moreno-Garcia, Maggie Shipstead, Elle Cosimano, Alicia Thompson, Marie Benedict, Asha Lemmie, Barbara O’Neal, Sonali Dev, and Sara Goodman Confino, among others. A converted West Coaster, Alicia currently resides in Southern California with her British husband and two Australian Cattle Dogs.
