Sydney Collins

Sydney Collins (she/her) is an Associate Editor acquiring nonfiction and fiction, and assists Sara Weiss. She gravitates towards Gen Z and millennial-focused cultural criticism, voice-driven essay collections, and self-help and pop-psychology about mental health and wellness. In fiction, she’s looking for smart and steamy romances, messy coming-of-age stories, and nuanced depictions of female friendships. Across all genres, she’s passionate about uplifting BIPOC voices and is looking for three key ingredients: heart, grit, and wit. Her list includes Nora Princiotti, Dalina Soto, Christina Hammonds Reed, Christina Dotson, and Ann Adams. Sydney graduated with honors from the University of Richmond and previously interned at Stonesong and Folio, as well as at Ballantine before she joined the team full-time.
