Molly Donovan, Editorial Assistant

Molly Donovan joined Putnam in 2024 and works with Tara Singh Carlson. She enjoys upmarket commercial fiction across multiple genres, including speculative fiction, queer literature, and romance, layered with diverse cultural elements and experiences. Before joining Putnam, she worked at Springer Nature and Melville House, where she plucked Flux by Jinwoo Chong out of the slush pile, the first Indie Next pick for Melville House in five years. Books Molly would have loved to acquire: the Never Whistle at Night anthology, Matt Haig’s The Midnight Library, and Rachel Hawkins’s Her Royal Highness.
