Alicia Clancy

Alicia Clancy is an Executive Editor 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 sweeping romance, in addition to select mystery, suspense, thrillers, women’s fiction, book club fiction, historical fiction, and grounded magical realism/speculative fiction projects. Across all genres, she is particularly drawn to books with a uniquely fresh voice, splashy hooks, jaw-dropping twists, cinematic pacing, and the ability to make her both laugh and cry within a matter of pages. In the decade prior to joining Ballantine Bantam Dell, Alicia worked at Lake Union Publishing (an imprint of Amazon Publishing) and St. Martin’s Press (an imprint of Macmillan Publishers), where she had the honor of working with bestselling authors including Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Elle Cosimano, Maggie Shipstead, Marie Benedict, Sonali Dev, Barbara O’Neal, Julianne MacLean, Glendy Vanderah, Suzanne Redfearn, and Sara Goodman Confino, among others. A converted West Coaster, Alicia currently resides in Southern California with her British husband and Australian Cattle Dog.
