Editing children’s books – a love story.
This is an intriguing insight into how one person became a commissioning editor for children’s books. I am so envious!

Editing children’s books – a love story, from OUP
Posted on by childtasticbooks

Childtastic Books started out as a collaborative blog, written by me and my young daughter Holly. Now she's nearly a teen, she's off doing exciting and new things but I am still here, reading, writing and reviewing books for children and young adults of all ages. I miss her input but I hope she will pop in from time to time to do some guest posts! A little about me - I have just finished an MA in Children's Literature from the University of Roehampton (result pending, eeek) and am a part-time primary school librarian. The other part of my time is spent writing and editing, my own work and others, and I am waiting for my first non-fiction book to be published - a teacher resources pack for Handa's Surprise. I welcome comments and love to hear from visitors to this blog. Please note though that, because of time constraints, it is rare that I can read and review books from self-published authors. I receive so many requests and feel badly about not being able to keep up with them all. Thanks for visiting! Sam View All Posts
Me too! A totally DREAM job and it’s clear how much she loves it. Really interesting article, both about her path to OUP and what the job involves.

Absolutely. I can’t imagine anything better than reading books, and promoting them, and working with authors! And being paid for it!
