Larry Rosler – Editor

I know how much your work means to you, which is why I'd love to see you succeed. In addition to my experience as an acquiring editor, I offer a unique perspective as founding editor of Highlights for Children’s Boyds Mills Press, where I had the good fortune to work with critically acclaimed authors and illustrators. The books I’ve edited have been recognized with the Coretta Scott King Honor and Theodor Geisel Honor from the American Library Association; Lee Bennett Hopkins Poetry Award, Crystal Kite Award, and Golden Kite Honor from the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators; National Jewish Book Award; Parents' Choice Award; Américas Award for Children’s and Young Adult Literature; and the Lion and the Unicorn Award for Excellence in North American Poetry, among others. They've also been deemed notable books by ALA, IRA, CBC, and NCTE. For more than twenty years, I served on the faculty of the Highlights Foundation and as speaker and workshop leader at SCBWI conferences nationwide. I work in a respectful and supportive way, offering encouragement and a critical eye. Let me put my experience to work for you.
