Maddie Jones, Senior Editor

Madeline Jones joined Algonquin in 2021 by way of Henry Holt and Simon & Schuster, and acquires narrative nonfiction, especially immersive, character-driven journalism on pressing sociological, political, and science topics. She’s also drawn to voice-driven essay collections or hybrid memoir steeped in research and cultural context, and books by experts—whether via the academy or lived experience. Maddie also acquires literary fiction, mostly in translation, and loves sweeping international stories and novels with a weird, speculative hook. She’s worked with authors including Bora Chung, Heather Christle, Leni Zumas, Erika Hayasaki, Malaika Jabali, Yeon Somin, Maggie Mertens, Caro De Robertis, Molly Ball, Silvia Vasquez-Lavado, Elena Medel, Simón López Trujillo, and Hilary Mantel. She is also a Spanish-English translator and former editor for the international literary magazine Asymptote Journal.
