Erica Melnichok is a Senior Library Marketing Manager at Penguin Random House. It was her love for children’s and YA literature that drew her to a career in publishing. Her nine years of library marketing experience & passion for libraries led to her MLS degree in 2010! Her early years spent reading L.M. Montgomery, Laura Ingalls Wilder, and Cynthia Voight evolved into a love of all things Jane Austen, historical fiction, and strong heroines worth rooting for in any number of genres. “As a teenager leaving for college, my mother suggested I consider librarianship. But I dismissed this sage advice, not realizing that my longstanding bookworm status could indeed lead to a career path. Lesson learned, mom does know best!”
