About Me

Rachel Diebel is an editor at Feiwel & Friends (an imprint of Macmillan Children’s Publishing Group), acquiring middle grade, young adult, and graphic novels. Throughout her career, she has worked on multiple New York Times bestsellers, celebrity projects including books by Lili Reinhart, Cleo Wade, and Jake Gyllenhaal, and the California Book Award winner Ophelia After All. She lives in the Pacific Northwest with a cantankerous cat named Charlie Brown.

​

Broadly, across all categories, Rachel is looking for commercial fiction with a unique voice, a great hook, and unforgettable characters. She is always looking for projects from marginalized voices and has a particular soft spot for stories of found families. She loves both YA and middle grade graphic novels with colorful, commercial art styles.
