coll kosinski - Editor

Hi! My name is Colleen and I'm an author/illustrator. I've been on my journey through the land of publishing for over two decades! During that time, I've worked with the wonderful people at Altair Literary, Stimola Literary Studio, Hummingbird Literary, Creative Authors Ltd, Sky Pony Press, Schiffer Publishing, Two Lions Publishing, and more! I teach workshops on picture book writing and network with hundreds of agents, authors, and editors daily. I'm very involved in my local chapter of The Society of Children's Book Authors and Illustrators, and The Rutgers University Council on Children's Literature.

I am not only an editor but also a traditionally published author. My titles include LILLA'S SUNFLOWERS, A PROMISE STITCHED IN TIME, A HOME AGAIN, and LOVE MADE ME MORE. My books have been favorable reviewed by Kirkus, School Library Journal, and Publishers Weekly. A HOME AGAIN will be available in seven languages!

Let me share what I've learned with you. Over the years, I've worked with many authors. I know critiques are sometimes hard. Your book is your baby. But I will handle with care. Nothing gives me more pleasure than to hold a book in my hands whose author's words I helped shape.
