Meet the Editors
Laura Feldman
Laura is an editor for children’s picture books and especially loves working with stories that are written in rhyme.

With a keen eye for clarity and structure, Laura helps authors polish their manuscripts while keeping their unique voice intact.

Kat Richardson
Kat is a Tasmanian freelance editor, author and illustrator, and the owner of Pesky Plover Studio.
Her creative life started in a small country town, surrounded by books, animals, magic, and a handful of teachers who made space for storytelling.
She spent her childhood filling notebooks with sentences and scribbles and daydreaming about making books. She hasn't really stopped.
She has a Bachelor of Communications (Children's Literature) from Charles Sturt University as well as a Graduate Certificate in Writing and Literature (Editing) from Deakin University.
Having worked in education for the past decade, lifelong learning is something she is very passionate about, whether that's through a uni course or a workshop on great storytelling.
In her spare time she's a mum to a whirlwind little boy, a late-start ballerina, a slow runner, and a sweet treat aficionado.
She can't wait to be a part of your story.
