Lucy Rogers – Editor

A creative and experienced editor with a passion for stories, a perceptive editorial eye and a comprehensive knowledge of the children's book market garnered from over a decade in the industry. Previously Senior Commissioning Editor at Simon & Schuster, I've worked with internationally bestselling authors Michelle Harrison and Laura Bates, launched debuts to commercial success and critical acclaim and managed big brand authors.

I love a story I can see connecting with its target reader, one that takes you on a journey - whether it's magical middle grade, a swashbuckling adventure or bone-chilling speculative YA. My in-depth edits are assured and instructive but also sensitive and encouraging. My authors have said that I can see through early drafts to the story they're trying to tell, and I love working with writers to make their novels the absolute best they can be.
