Overview
I am an enthusiastic and creative editor with over eight years publishing experience. I have worked at Scholastic, Walker Books, Pan Macmillan and currently edit books at Penguin Random House.
I've worked with, and edited multiple best-selling children's authors and brands, including Julia Donaldson, Jill Murphy, Catherine Rayner, Lucy Cousins, Guess How Much I Love You and Where's Wally?
I started my publishing career as buying assistant for Scholastic Clubs & Fairs, so I have a really strong understanding of what works in children's publishing and what children actually want to buy and read. Whether it's your plot, pitch or both, I would love help you make your story the best it can be.
I am incredibly passionate about children's books and I'm lucky that I get to work with both established and new authors every day. I look forward to working with you on your book!
