Larry Rosler - Editor

Working with writers is what I do and what I love to do. In addition to my experience as an editor, I offer a unique perspective as founding editor of Highlights for Children’s Boyds Mills Press. I’ve had the opportunity to work with a number of the industry’s leading authors and illustrators. The books I’ve edited have been recognized with the National Jewish Book Award, ALA Coretta Scott King Honor and Theodor Geisel Honor, SCBWI Crystal Kite Award and Lee Bennett Hopkins Poetry Award, Lion and the Unicorn Award for Excellence in North American Poetry, and the Américas Award for Children’s and Young Adult Literature, among others. For more than twenty years, I served on the faculty of the Highlights Foundation and served as speaker and workshop leader at SCBWI conferences nationwide. I know how much a manuscript means to an author. It means a lot to me, too. I work with writers in a supportive way, with one purpose in mind: to bring them closer to their goals.
