Naomi Goodheart

Assistant Editor

Imprint: Random House

Naomi Goodheart is an assistant editor at Random House, where she has worked with authors including Julie Buntin, Torrey Peters, Afia Atakora, Layne Fargo, Sara Nović, and Kelly Corrigan. She is interested in literary and upmarket fiction, especially character-driven coming-of-age novels, multigenerational family stories, funny dramas with bite, off-kilter explorations of the near future, and thrillers that feel surprising but inevitable. In nonfiction, she is drawn to memoir, cultural criticism, and essay collections that find the sweet spot between earnest and acerbic.
