Looking for: Fantasy, science fiction, children’s books of all ages, including picture books, graphic novels, and narrative non-fiction. She is particularly interested in books from writers who consider themselves under-represented, such as writers of colour, queer, and disabled writers.

Stevie joined Zeno at the beginning of 2020 after time served working for science fiction and fantasy imprint Gollancz, adult non-fiction publisher Icon, and almost every Waterstones bookshop London has to offer. Her degree specialised in children’s literature with a dissertation debating what young adult fiction actually is. All of the above strongly influenced the kind of books that excite her, as well as broader narratives that explore stories connected with LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, disability, mental health, and other marginalised experiences.
