Emily Wunderlich joined Viking in 2015. She acquires nonfiction in a range of categories, with a focus on big idea, inspiration, and business; narrative nonfiction and journalism; and literary nonfiction. She is particularly drawn to strong voices and fresh takes that recast our understanding of the world around us; she gravitates toward books speaking on women’s issues and social justice, and is focused on publishing a multitude of underrepresented voices, perspectives, and experiences.

Lindsey Schwoeri, senior editor, acquires literary fiction, narrative nonfiction and memoir. She loves fiction that is transporting, tense and beautifully written; in both fiction and nonfiction, she is drawn to books with the power to both inform and move us.

Laura Tisdel began her career as a publicist and then editor at Viking, and returned as an executive editor in 2015 after several years as an editor at Little, Brown and Company. She acquires literary fiction and is drawn to voice-driven stories and novels that communicate a strong sense of place or deep connection to an irresistible cast of characters. She also acquires narrative nonfiction and memoirs, and is particularly eager to find perspectives that provide a revealing, deep-dive look at undiscovered or overlooked subjects, books that deal with issues important to women and parents, and stories with a sense of humor.

Allison Lorentzen is an executive editor who joined Viking in 2012. She edits a range of literary and upmarket fiction and is often drawn to novels with memorable voices, a sense of humor, and settings that span the globe.

Executive Editor Paul Slovak edits a wide range of fiction and nonfiction, including memoir, cultural history, and natural history. In fiction, he is interested in writers who have exuberant, distinctive voices and the ability to find new ways of telling stories and fresh and surprising ways of imagining characters.
