of your own writing journey.

About Rebecca:


A lover of hush puppies, Claudia Kishi, and Nora Ephron movies,
Rebecca Kuss was born to a Korean mother and Jewish father in the
heart of the south. She attended the University of Wisconsin,
where her parents thought she was pre-med, but where she actually
spent the majority of her time getting lost in the library
stacks. She has a master’s degree in children’s and young adult
literature from the University of Pennsylvania, where her
research focused on race and representation and her thesis was an
in-depth exploration of the publishing industry’s #ownvoices
movement. Previously the Co-Director of children’s book scouting
with Maria B Campbell Associates, Rebecca now champions diverse
and marginalized voices as an Associate Editor and the Director
of Recruitment & Acquisitions with Glasstown Entertainment,
an all-female creative development and production company.
