Tova Seltzer (she/her) joined the Neal Porter Books team in 2022, with a background in freelance editing, sensitivity reading, and bookselling. She is looking to acquire fresh, surprising picture books with spare, potent prose and a strong narrative arc, whether fiction or nonfiction. She’s also partial to books touching on art and design (triple points for interior design and architecture). A few of her all-time favorites are Pokko and the Drum by Matthew Forsythe, Everything You Need for a Treehouse by Carter Higgins and Emily Hughes, and Speak Up, Blanche! by Emily Arnold McCully.
