Ariell Cacciola has over fifteen years of experience in publishing and literary criticism. She has a particular interest in debuts and darker stories, but she also loves an uplifting romance, historical or book club fiction. She is keen on author care and developing an author’s voice and career beyond their first book.

She has an MFA in Fiction from Columbia University where her love of narrative and different modes of storytelling grew. She loves books that are close to their characters and are brimming with twists and turns.

Ariell lives in the North of England where she’s often walking on the moors or climbing up to crags even in winter.
