Dear Genius(es)

Tonight, I fin­ished read­ing the let­ters of leg­endary edi­tor Ursula Nord­strom.  Prob­a­bly, I’m the last to read this book, because I’ve heard how amaz­ing it is for years.  It amazed me any­way.  As a reader, as a scholar, as a reviewer, and as a writer, I learned so much about the evo­lu­tion of children’s pub­lish­ing in the US and the way that an edi­tor can shape the vision of a book, an author, her pub­lish­ing house, or an entire industry.

If you haven’t red this book, you have homework.

Go. Read. Be amazed.
