Christine Florie – Editor

For me, nothing is quite as exciting as getting my hands on a manuscript. For more than twenty-five years, I have shepherded manuscripts from concept to bound book, treating each with the care and respect it deserves. My career has encompassed the production of academic and scholarly books and journals to the acquisition and development of nonfiction K-12 books for the school and library market. I've had the privilege to write three titles for Scholastic's Rookie Reader series, fulfilling a dream to publish. In my last position, I was executive editor for a K-12 school and library publisher, managing each title from an idea to a bound book.Currently, I have been putting my skills and expertise to good use working on a freelance basis for academic and scholarly publishers, children's/YA trade publishers, adult trade publishers, K-12 school and library publishers, and independent authors. I believe that getting a manuscript to a bound book requires a strong relationship between author and editor. It's collaboration in the greatest sense!I take great pride in my work and ensure that each and every author and publisher is happy with the final product I deliver.
