Hi! My name is Norma, and I’m an acquiring editorial assistant at @kensingtonbooks. I’m super excited to show you all some glimpses of my work over the next few days. Here is a shot of me with some of my favorite Kensington books. I work on a variety of adult fiction titles, from historical and contemporary romance to mysteries and thrillers. #publishing #publishinglife #publishinghouse #latinxscreate #lxpworkselfie #lxpmember #writersofinstagram #books #askeditor #recruit #community #booksofinstagram #bookshelf #shelfie #adultbooks #fiction #romance #contemporaryfiction

" Me, after spending a few hours in a Bronx elementary school – Every so often, I get the opportunity to talk to kids about publishing/writing. I’ve always been interested in recruiting more people of color to the fold, so a good way to do that is to start planting those seeds early!" - Linda Camacho, Literary Agent at Prospect Agency, LLC #publishing #publishinglife #publishinghouse #latinxscreate #lxpworkselfie #lxpmember #writersofinstagram #agent #askagent #recruit #community

"Attended the Chris Jackson event sponsored by LxP and PoC+Natives in Publishing, both of which I’m a part of. The editor of acclaimed authors like Ta-Nehisi Coates and Bryan Stevenson, Chris Jackson is VP, Publisher, and Editor-in-Chief of the new One World imprint at Random House. It was wonderful to hear his thoughts on publishing and his own experiences in the field, particularly since he was speaking to a packed room of PoC and their allies. Working in publishing is tough, so it’s always inspiring to hear from those who’ve traveled down that path and found their success. Yes we can!" - Linda Camacho, Literary Agent at Prospect Agency, LLC #publishing #publishinglife #publishinghouse #latinxscreate #lxpworkselfie #lxpmember #writersofinstagram #agent #askagent #tbt #editors #publishinghouse

"One of my favorite parts of agenting is getting to meet up with editors over a bite. Editors’ tastes change over time, so it’s nice to touch base and get a feel for anything new they’re seeking. With new editors I meet, we get to know each other better. With editor buddies, there’s much gossiping to be had 😊" - Linda Camacho, Literary Agent at Prospect Agency, LLC #publishing #publishinglife #publishinghouse #latinxscreate #lxpworkselfie #lxpmember #writersofinstagram #agent #askagent

"My first sale as an agent is coming out from Scholastic in February 2017! I’m so thrilled and I CANNOT stop looking at the ARCs. What’s more, the book underwent a complete cover change for the finished books and as much as I loved this one, I love the new one even more!" - Linda Camacho, Literary Agent at Prospect Agency, LLC #publishing #publishinglife #publishinghouse #latinxscreate #lxpworkselfie #lxpmember #writersofinstagram #agent #askagent

"Now that I’m back from the holiday break, reading is back in full swing! This really means submission reading, since client reading never really stopped. I’m happy to say that I’m nearly caught up on full manuscript requests (now down to 3), so that’s exciting! I also got like five revised client manuscripts to review (Lol, my clients send them in groups without fail. It’s a conspiracy!). So it’s reading, reading, revising, revising…" - Linda Camacho, Literary Agent at Prospect Agency, LLC #publishing #askagent #literaryagent #publishinglife #latinxscreate #latinos #latinas #books #reading #revision #lxpworkselfie #lxpmember #latinxinpublishing #agent #writersofinstagram
