Canadian author Nita Prose’s debut novel, The Maid, became a New York Times and Canadian bestseller just a few weeks after its Jan. 4 release.
The longtime Toronto editor is currently the vice president and editorial director at Simon & Schuster — a publishing house that’s home to renown authors such as home body and milk and honey author Rupi Kaur, and Long Way Down and Look Both Ways author Jason Reynolds, among others.
“The day [The Maid] was published was a really important moment because it was no longer mine. It was now something that belonged to the readers,” Prose told CBC News.
