PW Star Watch 2025 Finalist: Amina Iro
Amina Iro, an associate editor at Legacy Lit, oversees an eclectic nonfiction list and is helping shape the imprint's ethos.
Iro began her publishing career at Amistad and joined Hachette's fledgling imprint Legacy Lit in 2022.
"We hadn’t published any books yet,"Iro recalls. At the time,
"our name wasn’t even in the drop-down menu"on Hachette's website.
Legacy Lit founder Krishan Trotman describes Iro as an
indefatigable assistant editorwho
took on the role of about 10 people, helping shape the ethos that constitutes our imprint today. Trotman adds that
our authors constantly praise her calming guidance and keen editorial eye.
Iro, who double-majored in creative writing and neurobiology at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, says
multifacetedness is my strength. Now an associate editor, she continues to make a significant impact at Legacy Lit.
