Today on Middle Grade Mavens we're doing something different in our bonus, "Ask The Editor," series.

Running over January - February 2020, each week we'll bring some insider information on what exactly is on some incredible Australian Children's book editor's wish list's. We hope this will be helpful for our author and illustrator listeners who might be attending some great children's literature conferences in 2020. The Mavens are avid supporters of KidLitVic, of which the tickets go on sale 10th February 2020.

Today we welcome Jane Pearson, Senior Editor at Text Publishing. She had some wonderful insights into the world of Middle-Grade Books.
