Eva Maria Dietrich Carreño - Editor

I am the author of The Great Rainbow Hug (Le gros câlin arc-en-ciel, from Samir Editeur, 2011), recognized by La Revue Des Livres Pour Enfants in 2011 as their annual selection. I have recently published Mesopo, a middle grade fantasy novel.

I hold Masters’ Degrees in Children's Literature from the University of Surrey, London and Creative Writing from the Metropolitan University of Manchester, UK, and am the founder and director of a Literary Agency.

I am equal parts Spanish and German, and currently reside in Madrid with my three kids, three dogs, two rabbits and lots of hens.

I hold a BA in European Business Studies (ICADE & ESB Reutlingen, Spain/Germany). I have worked for two decades in business, banking and publishing. I have spent the last 20 years working with publishers, specializing in children's literature, providing consulting services in literary scouting, book reviewing and supporting authors and editors in their day-to-day activities.
