great children's book editor

I had worked with a children's book editor two weeks ago who was so literal that I was extremely unhappy with her assessment. I heard about Simone Kaplan and had a session with her. I can not tell you how amazing she is- not only unbelievably helpful, but intuitive and insightful. She worked in childrens division at harper collins for many years and I feel now I have direction with my book.

the above is her site. I dont know if this is allowed to posy, but i have no connection with her in terms of working for her or being paid- I was just so amazed at her help and insight I want to share this woman's site. I got more out of working with her for an hour then with anyone i have ever talked to- she knows her stuff and is such a kind soul.

I see I have a typo in the header I can not change, but yes I agree. I worked with an editor who was so literal and no vision at all- a very by the rules kind of person. Then I worked with Simone. She really sees a book in an intuitive way and is such a joy to work with. I wish I knew about her before i wasted money on the first person!
