Canelo
Alicia Pountney, Editor, Canelo
I would love to commission more femgore horror like Shy Girl by Mia Ballard or The Lamb by Lucy Rose. I am also interested in commercial genre mash-ups; crime/romance like People Pleaser by Catriona Stewart and Love Letters to a Serial Killer by Tasha Coryell or horroromance like The Haar by David Sodergren or The Sea Hides It’s Dead by Megan Montrager.
I joined Canelo in 2022. I work on crime, thriller and horror titles. I have a keen eye for crime fiction series due to my work on JD Kirk and Simon McCleave.
Books I’m proud of…
I am proud to have worked on a variety of excellent books across the Canelo list including; The Silent Ones by Anna McPartlin, a harrowing Irish crime thriller; What I Told My Friends by Alice Leigh, a can’t-turn-the-page-fast-enough dark academia thriller; Immaculate Conception by Ling Ling Huang, an unsettling horror novel about the future of art and AI and the unravelling of an intimate friendship.
