Kate Harrison Interview

May 21st, 2009 · No Comments

Here’s a good interview at Write About Now, with Kate Harrison, Senior Editor at Dial Books for Young Readers.

Here’s one Q and A to whet your appetite:

I’ve heard many editors say that when they read submissions, they’re looking for reasons to turn it down. Besides voice, what are some of the things that you look for as reasons to accept a submission?

A really fresh hook–a sentence that sums up the book that totally grabs my attention.

OK skedaddle on over there and read the whole interview!
