@comicbookjer @stephlystein It's definitely a much-needed skill for writers in this day and age. #okscbwichatIt's true, it's important to know how to deliver a good hook for your pitch! :) #okscbwichat

@stephlystein @HarperChildrens @harperteen I鈥檇 love to know your most and least favorite thing about editing graphic novels! :) #okscbwichatI love translating my editorial POV to a more visual storytelling language--thinking about things like layout and page turns. And the amazing art! What I might not love are the loooong schedules. Novels can take 2 years to pub, but GNs often take longer! #okscbwichat

@stephlystein Can you tell us how you came to work in Children's Publishing? How did you start working as an editor? #okscbwichatI came to the children's book world 8 years ago and have worked at Harper ever since. After internships at smaller pubs, I started out in marketing, where I learned how to write catchy copy and position a book to its audience. ~2 years later I switched to editing! #okscbwichat
