Overview
I am a highly experienced developmental and acquisitions editor of children's and ya books many of which have been awarded in Greece and abroad. I developmental edit in both English and Greek. I have a strong knowledge of foreign rights and international trends. In addition to foreign acquisitions through strong contacts with international agents, publishers (editors and rights contacts) as well as scouts, my involvement in the publishing process includes reading through the slushpile, building relationships with authors and working through the editorial process with them, commissioning artwork – working with illustrators, clearing rights, liaising with the pagination team, providing information to marketing and sales teams, etc. I have also been very proud to have books acquired reap both international and domestic awards.
I have a very strong commercial as well as literary eye, project manage with responsibility and success, but also have a strong instinct as well as a distinctive editorial taste that has been crucial in my development of both debut and standing authors. I love working with authors and helping them develop and grow their work. My most favorite moment is when I see readers enjoying books that I worked on along with their authors and seen them from transform from a "slushpile" manuscript into a finished book...
