Carina Guiterman, Executive Editor

Carina Guiterman is an Executive Editor at Simon & Schuster, where she acquires literary and upmarket fiction, as well as select narrative non-fiction, including memoirs and essay collections. Her taste in fiction spans many genres: domestic and psychological suspense, coming of age, family sagas, adventure stories, and more.
