Lisa Riley is a children’s publisher with Penguin Random House Australia. Previously, she worked for ABC Books and Walker Books in both Sydney and London and has enjoyed working in children’s publishing for more than 30 years. She publishes across the age range, from picture books and commercial junior fiction series to standalone novels for middle grade and YA readers. She has been lucky enough to work with many established and debut children’s authors and illustrators, too many to list here! She especially loves child-centric, unputdownable stories, a fresh, original voice, delicious language, and ideas that surprise, delight, or move the reader.
Lisa is happy to assess manuscripts for picture books, junior fiction, middle grade or YA
(including thrillers, genre/fantasy YA) and is looking for new illustrator talent.
