Alex Borbolla

Senior Editor

Alex (she/her) joined Bloomsbury Children's Publishing in April 2022 after spending the first seven years of her career at Atheneum Books for Young Readers, an imprint of Simon & Schuster. When she’s not editing, Alex can be found spoiling her beagle Winnie, having a breakdown about whatever new bake she’s trying, and/or theorizing about Taylor Swift.

She earned a B.A. in English and Communications from Rollins College, and holds a M.S. in Publishing from NYU.
