Del Rey Team

Editorial

Tricia Narwani, Editor-in-Chief, She/Her
Tricia Narwani is the editor-in-chief of Del Rey Books. She has worked with authors including Pierce Brown, Wesley Chu, Saara el-Arifi, Kevin Hearne, Bryan Lee O’Malley, Josh Malerman, China Miéville, Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Chuck Wendig, Kiersten White, and Heather Walter. She lives in Brooklyn.

Sarah Peed, Senior Editor, She/Her

Soria, and Delilah S. Dawson. She also works on licensed properties, including Lore Olympus, Minecraft, Critical Role, and Garfield. Much like the famous cartoon cat, she hates Mondays. She lives in Brooklyn.

Anne Groell, Executive Editor, She/Her
Anne Groell has been working in science fiction and fantasy publishing for close to thirty years—although she has been a devotee of the genre far longer. A brief flirtation with science (minus the fiction) intervened, and she received a B.A. in Biology from Yale University, and an M.S. in Developmental Biology from the University of California at Irvine before returning to her first true love: books. She started at Avon Books in 1992, moved on to Bantam Spectra in 1994, then was merged with the Del Rey team in 2008. She works with such authors as George R.R. Martin, Terry Brooks, Naomi Novik, Robin Hobb, Scott Lynch, Peter F. Hamilton, and Connie Willis.  A native New Yorker, Anne was born in Manhattan, and now lives in the Bronx with her husband and daughter.

Bryanna Gary, Editorial Assistant, She/Her
Bree is a recent graduate of NYU’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study, where she created her own wacky major studying a mix of politics and speculative fiction. She interned at the Ethan Ellenberg Literary Agency, Open Road Integrated Media, Simon & Schuster’s Gallery Books imprint, B/HI, and Haymaker Group before joining the wonderful Del Rey team, where she assists Tricia Narwani and Anne Groell on their sci-fi, fantasy, horror, and thriller lists. When she isn’t obsessing over fantastic books, Bree is working on her speculative fiction/writing blog The Angry Noodle, and occasionally streaming so the world can see how bad she is at video games.
