Debut Author and Editor Panel — with Author Isabelle Engel and YPA’s Kelly Stone
Join us for a virtual panel on February 12 at 8 PM EST/5 PM PST with Isabelle Engel, author of the new novel Most Eligible, and Kelly Stone, the novel’s editor and the chair of the Young Publishers Association’s mentorship program. Most Eligible is a highly-anticipated 2026 release from St. Martin’s Griffin, pitched as “The Bachelor meets Funny You Should Ask in this laugh-out-loud rom-com debut about a journalist who goes on reality TV only to find her country music star one-night stand is the host.”
This panel will focus on first-hand accounts of the collaborative work between the author-editor team and Engel’s experience of the book publication process as a debut author with St. Martin’s. Stone will also share insight on her work on the novel and her own career path with a focus on the editorial side of publishing.
