Thalia Suzuma has been in fiction publishing for over ten years, working for publishers including Pan Macmillan, HarperCollins and Bloomsbury. At Pan Mac, the focus was on crime thrillers, at HarperCollins she focused on commercial women’s fiction and at Bloomsbury QFP she acquired books in translation.
She has worked with bestselling authors such as Cecelia Ahern, Lauren Weisberger, Tony Parsons and Barbara Taylor Bradford.
In 2014, she moved to the Middle East to publish prize-winning authors such as Saud Al Sanousi and Mai Al Nakib, with the aim to diversify the types of narrative available to an English-reading audience. The books she published, unlike many of their authors, did not get denied visas at airports.
When Thalia is not scouting for the latest literary talent or typing up a storm, she enjoys teaching yoga to children, teenagers with special needs, and to all sort of people who might think ‘yoga isn’t for me!’.
