Give yourself permission to create something that disappoints you. Then create more of it. Create lots of it.
It's the only way to get to that wonderful work inside you that's dying to get out.

The industry may change, but the passion never does.
About Me
- Rachel Stark
- I'm an Associate Marketing Manager at Simon & Schuster Children's Books. I love quirky people, swing and blues dancing, pelicans, all things typographic and, most of all, talking about books and publishing.
I started my publishing career as an intern extraordinaire at Scholastic's Arthur A. Levine Books and W. W. Norton, then spent almost two years as an Editorial Assistant in academic publishing. In 2011, I moved into children's publishing as the Assistant Marketing Manager at Bloomsbury & Walker Books for Young Readers. Occasionally I take on clients for freelance editing and manuscript critiques (see below).
In all, I spend a lot of time thinking about books. Since you're here, something tells me you do, too.
This is lovely in itself, but it takes on a different tone in light of the Ira Glass/NPR/Mike Daisey scandal. http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2012/03/16/148761812/this-american-life-retracts-mike-daiseys-apple-factory-story
