I view editing children’s books as an exercise in listening and affirming the author’s voice, implementing mechanical edits, and participating in subjective input. Reading a multitude of books during my childhood, as a Modern Literature major in college, and teaching preschoolers and kindergartners, fostered my love for reading.
