In case anyone out there has been holding on to a stand-alone fantasy novel that they’d love to submit to us, I wanted to point out that our submission guidelines have been updated.

I’m flipping back and forth on TV between a documentary called Planet Twelve: The Secret Life of 12-Year-Olds which isn’t showing me any new secrets but is funny to watch all the same, and the beginning of The Return of the Musketeers, the opening scene of which begins with a closeup of a hand drawing [...]

My cats have been chasing each other around the house this morning, I suppose filled with spring fever. Well, they do this every day, so really I should just mark it down to them still being kittens, even though both of them look nearly grown. They’ve also recently discovered the fireplace, which to them must [...]

Ala alg’s post about getting a job in publishing.
When I tell people that I edit children’s books, their first answer is, “Oooh, how fun!” My answer is usually something like, “Yes, but it was also a lot of hard work to get here. And I’m still working.” But having a lot of fun while I [...]
