As hard as it is to believe three years have gone by since I put out my shingle, it’s entirely gratifying to be so busy and fulfilled by the work I love—by work that seems to be filling a need in the children’s book community.
During these three years I’ve consulted with authors, illustrators, agents, editors, publishers, teachers, librarians, doctors, producers, musicians, scholars, executives, technicians, and more—and along the way, with each conversation, with each new idea, with each “why not?”, with each “just try it and see,” I’ve become a better editor, a smarter person, a more whole human being.
I move through this world with a heightened awareness of the creativity and imagination that’s all around us and in each of us. Three years ago, I had to ask myself the tough questions, had to take a leap, had to push myself into the discomfort of the “why not?” and “just try it and see”–and here I am, just trying it and seeing…and the view’s great!
drydenbks couldn’t be successful without the support of so many colleagues, clients, and friends. I know this. I appreciate this. And am blessed.
