Joy Bean has worked in the publishing industry for more than 25 years and has seen the book world from many perspectives. She’s worked as a bookseller, at both a chain store as well as an independent children’s bookstore; as a journalist writing about the children’s book industry for Publishers Weekly magazine; and as a children’s book editor at both big and small houses (from Random House to Arctis Books USA). During her editorial career, she has worked on a wide range of children’s books—everything from mass market books featuring licensed characters, nonfiction books aimed at the school and library market, to trade books (picture books, chapter books, & middle grade and YA novels). She is extremely happy to now be working on books in translation, bringing voices from around the world to readers in the U.S. In her spare time, you can usually find her reading, or looking for titles to add to her Books to Read list.
