Overview
For more than 10 years, I have worked at Scholastic, primarily on the STEAM magazine titles: Science World, Scholastic MATH, SuperScience, DynaMath, and Scholastic ART. This includes writing articles, devising issue issue lineups, editing copy, and shepherding layouts through printing. I have also worked on several science book projects for Scholastic Library Publishing, including consulting on how to cover different science topics and writing books for both upper elementary kids in grades 3-5 and "Rookie Readers" for grades 1-2.
