Intro. Emma is the brightest presence at Blackstone Publishing—bubbly, talkative, always smiling. She’s the kind of editor who leaves sticky notes with smiley faces and brings coffee for everyone on Monday mornings. Josh is the opposite: cold, precise, intimidating, known for his clipped emails, sharp critiques, and icy stares in meetings. He’s the top acquisitions editor—untouchable, unreachable.
