Marian Lizzi, Editor-in-Chief, VP

As Editor-in-Chief of the TarcherPerigee imprint, I’m lucky to be immersed in a rich, long-lived list that empowers readers to improve their lives and find their way, spanning the areas of mental health, relationships, creativity, self-reflection, and gift/inspiration.

I work with a wide range of authors – from credentialed experts to emerging illustrators – who bring fresh perspective and broader representation to these categories. My recent and bestselling authors include therapist Nedra Glover Tawwab, hospice nurse Julie McFadden, psychologist Scott Barry Kaufman, artists Meera Lee Patel and Adam J. Kurtz, and many others.

https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/734126/nothing-to-fear-by-julie-mcfadden-rn/To speak to an audience that’s diverse in every way, the books on my list include guided journals like Burn After WritingStart Where You Are, and 1 Page at a Time as well as more traditional guides like Set Boundaries, Find PeaceNothing to Fear and Toxic Positivity– along with workbooks and other ancillary spin-offs. Each one is published with hands-on attention toward the goal of being both timely and timeless, with a robust launch as well as healthy backlist sales.

From my first acquisition here back in 2004 (The Cloudspotter’s Guide by Gavin Pretor-Pinney—still in print!), I’ve focused on finding fresh new voices and ideas that speak to readers where they are.
