Trisha Tobias is an associate developmental editor at book packager Dovetail Fiction. She was also an associate fiction editor for FORESHADOW: A Serial YA Anthology, a 2018 Walter Dean Myers Grant recipient, and a 2019-2020 Highlights Foundation Diversity Fellow.
She holds a BA in Media and Communication Studies from Fordham University with a minor in Creative Writing. In her free time, Trisha can be found connecting with her tarot cards, making too many to-do lists, or journaling all her secrets.
Trisha adores all things YA, particularly with a romantic component and certainly if it’s a bit more “edgy.” If you need help with fleshing out characters, romantic arcs, emotional resonance, or line edits/proofreading, she’d love to help!
