Rosie Greening – Editor

Hi! I'm a children's book editor / author with 11 years of experience. I specialise in picture books and novelty books... and I love rhyme!

Overview

Hi! I'm a professional children's book editor and published author with 11 years of experience. I began my career as an in-house children's book writer and editor at an independent publisher before moving to the Puffin Picture Book team at Penguin, the number one children's book publisher in the UK.


I specialise in picture books and board books, and have a particular love of rhyme! I can offer story writing advice, proofreading, copy-editing and general editorial feedback. I can also offer tips on getting published.

Rosie helped me edit children's board books, and she was amazing! She was very responsive throughout the process, and got the editing done quickly. Her edits were very helpful, both in high level guidance for the book, and line-level copy edits. I felt my books improved so much afterwards. I'd definitely work with Rosie again for future projects!

Rosie provided outstanding assistance. I am very impressed with the expertise provided and the attention to detail. She provided guidance on points that I hadn't thought about and gave simple suggestions on improvements. The whole experience left me feeling enthusiastic and inspired for my project. Joe
