Not everyone is lucky enough to actually have the career they dreamed of as kindergartners. I did—and it was awesome. As an editor at Doubleday, Crown/Random House and Penguin Putnam, I identified high-ROI book projects, negotiated with authors and agents and guided the creative development and marketing of titles from manuscript to bound book.
I edited high profile books with big advances and big sales, like Suzanne Somers' EAT GREAT, LOSE WEIGHT. But I also found the talent that's been my trademark ever since: finding hidden gems that just need someone to believe in them.
