MY BOOKS
EDITORIAL SERVICES
I provide editorial and creative guidance to authors of picture books through young adult novels,
from broad story development to detailed line edits.
As a Senior Editor at Knopf Books for Young Readers/
Penguin Random House, I acquired and edited picture books, middle-grade, and YA. In my 13 years at Knopf,
my list garnered over 50 starred reviews and included
New York Times Bestsellers, Caldecott and Newbery
Honor Books, Edgar Award Winners,
ALA Notables, and YALSA BFYA titles.
In 2017, I launched Allison Wortche Editorial Services, offering critiques, developmental editing, line editing,
and query letter feedback. If you have a project you'd
like to work on together, please be in touch!
