Brooke Talks Books

I am a children’s book editor with nearly twenty years’ experience at some of the world’s top publishing companies, including Penguin Random House and Disney. Over the course of my career, I have edited thousand’s of traditional and independently published children’s books, spanning all categories including picture books, middle grade, activity books, and nonfiction. 

But I’m more than just an editor. I’m also a published author in my own right, with more than 100 books published through traditional publishing houses including Scholastic, Disney Press, Random House, Penguin, and Insight Editions. Among my favorites that I’ve written are The Magic is in You, published by Disney Press, The Muppet's Christmas Carol and The Goonies published by Insight Editions, and the Timmi Tobbson Young Explorers chapter book series.

When it comes to publishing, there's a lot to understand. These easy-to-follow videos will will guide you through the process of creating a great children's book.
