Bev Katz Rosenbaum

Right, so I'm an award-winning publishing veteran who's worked as an in-house editor of both commercial fiction (at Harlequin) and literary fiction (at McGraw-Hill Ryerson), and who's taught writing at the college level and currently toils as a popular freelance developmental fiction editor. And after a long hiatus, I'm pleased as punch to announce I'm back to writing middle-grade and young adult fiction! When I'm not editing or writing, I'm guzzling coffee, eating chocolate, catching up on friends' books, exploring my city (Toronto), dancing (all kinds) and hiking. (Not the extreme kind. The mildly challenging and occasionally inspirational kind.)
