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 from having been founding editor of Highlights for Children’s Boyds Mills Press. I've had the good fortune to work with critically acclaimed authors and illustrators and edit award-winning books. I want to share what I’ve learned with you. The books I’ve edited have been recognized with the American Library Association Coretta Scott King Honor & Theodor Geisel Honor; SCBWI Crystal Kite Award, Golden Kite Honor, & Lee Bennett Hopkins Poetry Award; National Jewish Book Award; National Outdoor Book Award; Américas Award for Children’s and Young Adult Literature; Asian/Pacific American Award for Literature; and the Lion and the Unicorn Award for Excellence in North American Poetry, among others. 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 know how much your manuscript means to you. It means a lot to me, too. I work in a supportive way, offering guidance, encouragement, and a critical eye. My sole purpose is to help you come closer to your writing goals.
