Welcome!

I'm Cheryl Klein, Senior Editor at Arthur A. Levine Books (an imprint of Scholastic), and this is a small repository of information about writing, publishing, the books I've edited, and my editorial tastes. Please poke around and make yourself at home.

Recently Added: A Convocation speech delivered at my alma mater, Carleton College:  "The Wand Chooses the Wizard:  Of Carleton, Children's Books, and Creating Yourself."

In March I added another personal talk about my work as an editor and the uses of reading in my life, particularly the influence of my late grandfather Philip Sadler and his Children's Literature Festival.

Upcoming Appearances: I'll be speaking at the Idaho SCBWI conference in September 2010, and the Whispering Pines SCBWI conference in Rhode Island in the spring of 2011. Please check back here or contact me at the e-mail address below for information on other appearances.
