During the coronavirus pandemic, she has led Amazon Publishing’s virtual engagement strategy to maintain close ties with international publishers, agents, and literary scouts to secure rights deals for authors around the world. She recently negotiated rights deals for authors including Dean Koontz, Patricia Cornwell and Tess Gerritsen.
