Katie Heit – Editor

I am a children's book editor with 9 years of experience working at publishing houses. I began my career at HarperCollins, where I spent 5 years before moving to Scholastic in 2019, and was named a Publishers Weekly Star Watch Honoree in 2023. I have worked with a number of incredibly talented authors, including Charles R. Smith Jr., Sandra Markle, Nell Cross Beckerman, Dean Robbins, Rekha S. Rajan, and many more.

I specialize in children's fiction and nonfiction for ages 4-10. I am skilled at providing developmental edits and line edits, as well as feedback on marketability and query letter reviews. My area of expertise is picture books (both fiction and nonfiction), as well as nonfiction chapter books. I love helping writers find and fine tune their voice!
