Elaine Connolly – Editor

With a wealth of experience growing picture book and children's non-fiction brands, developing creative talents and finding new voices, I can help you take the next steps in your writing journey.

I am passionate about picture books. No matter what kind of picture book you are writing, whether it's funny and energetic, emotional and atmospheric or abstract and conceptual, I can work alongside you to craft the best possible version of your story.

I have over 10 years of experience in the publishing industry where I've worked with authors on all kinds of stories, helping them to think about the readers and being a champion of their words. I feel a big responsibility to ensure that all voices are heard and every child feels seen. Picture books can show us how we're more alike than we think. And they're an amazing way to look at the world around us from a new perspective.

I am an enthusiastic and creative editor, and I would love to hear from you.
