     Although I haven't read her book yet, I love this quote from writer/editor Calista Brill during her recent interview on The Children's Book Podcast (September 19, 2018). It goes to the heart of creating original work that also succeeds in speaking to an audience.
Picture
"For me, writing picture books is also a way of breaking out of expected territory. As an editor, a big part of my role is taking people's idiosyncratic visions and helping them tailor them so that they're accessible to the widest possible audience. And then when I take that hat off and I work as an author, I'm the one who's bringing an idiosyncratic vision, and I'm the one who's gently pushing back against an editor. [...] It's fun to wear the other hat, and to be the voice of weirdness in that relationship."

executive editor at
