I started my publishing career as an editorial assistant at Viking Children’s Books, a division of what is now Penguin Random House, just two weeks out of college. I spent more than a decade at Viking, rising through the ranks to become Executive Editor. After eleven years working in Manhattan, the time was right to return home to New Orleans with my family. I established Catherine Frank Editorial Services in the spring of 2011 with the goal of continuing to do the work that I love. Through Catherine Frank Editorial Services I actively work with authors, agents, packagers, app developers, and publishers large and small. I edit picture book texts, chapter books, nonfiction books for older readers, and middle grade and YA novels.
