Get to Know an Editor in Attendance: Lizzie Poteet of Dell Books

Lizzie Poteet is a senior editor with Dell Books, part of Penguin Random House.

“Dell has always been synonymous with the best of popular storytelling and now publishes such big brand names as Lee Child, Diana Gabaldon, and Danielle Steel. The Delacorte/Dell lists focus on general fiction, love stories, and romantic comedy and are committed to nurturing voices that will allow us to continue our century-long tradition of sharing beloved books with the world.”

Born in Nashville, Lizzie attended Colby College where she majored in English and Religious Studies. While at St Andrews, Lizzie realized that though she enjoyed Shakespeare and the Dead Sea Scrolls, she preferred romance novels, a revelation that resulted in a publishing internship with RT BOOKREVIEWS (formerly Romantic Times). She then channeled her interests into an independent study researching fallen angel mythology in romance novels.
