A Publishing Speakers' Series: Meredith Pal
Meredith Pal is an Assistant Editor at Penguin Canada. She oversees the paperbacks across Penguin’s imprints, and recently brought the timeless classic The Color Purple onto the list, making it more readily available to Canadian readers. Her interests include creative non-fiction and literary fiction, with a particular love for a stimulating sci-fi or speculative angle. She’s proud to have worked with Yasuko Thanh on her heartrending novel, To the Bridge, and to have brought Matthew R. Morris’s debut essay collection on race and belonging, Black Boys Like Me, to readers. Forthcoming publications she is looking forward to forward to include internationally bestselling author Kim Echlin’s Tell Others, a thought-provoking exploration of testimony in literature, and Charlotte Runcie’s debut novel, Bring the House Down, a vibrant critique of power dynamics and misogyny in theatre and the arts world.
