I am passionate about books for children.
Sarah Jane Abbott is an experienced editor who has spent over eight years making books for children. She got her start at Simon & Schuster’s Paula Wiseman Books and Beach Lane Books, where she had the pleasure of working with many wonderful authors and illustrators including Samantha M. Clark, Samantha Cotterill, Scott Magoon, Anita Lobel, Alice B. McGinty and Alan B. Havis, and Diane Goode. In 2020, she established Sarah Jane Abbott Editorial, and works with authors and publishers on a wide range of projects. When she isn’t reading or editing, you can find her knitting, drinking tea, or trying to master the art of baking a macaron that would meet Mary Berry’s standards.
She is a frequent public speaker and presenter and has given lectures and workshops at SCBWI conferences across the country as well as other events including the Rutgers University Council on Children’s Literature (RUCCL) One-on-One Plus Conference and the Children’s Writers of the Hudson Valley Conference.
She is a former writer and editorial board member for Off the Shelf. Find her lists and reviews here: https://offtheshelf.com/author/sarahjane-abbott/.
