Jennifer Childs is the Vice President of Library Marketing at Penguin Random House. She has been with company for over 20 years and in that time has worked with many amazing authors and read numerous bestsellers . . . before they were bestsellers.

The mother of 3 teenagers, she is currently reading books on stress management and anything that transports her to an alternate reality.

She won an AudioFile Earphones Award for her narration of And Then We Grew Up by Rachel Friedman.
