Testimonials
“Larry has worked with me on many of my books. He is an excellent editor, helping me make
my manuscripts better. He is always encouraging and respectful of my work.”
Eve Bunting, author of Girls: A-Z
“Every writer needs a good editor, and Larry Rosler is a great one. I'm fortunate to have worked
with Larry on numerous books, and he always works with me to improve my manuscript.
Larry Rosler is my first choice for editing expertise.”
Cat Urbgkit, author of Brave Dogs, Gentle Dogs
“Larry Rosler is a wonderful and meticulous editor who not only edits, but advises and nudges
and transforms manuscripts into the best work possible. He is a true gentleman with whom it is
always a pleasure to work.”
Linda Oatman High, author of Planet Pregnancy
“Larry makes sure that the hundred or so words that appear in my books are the right ones to
carry the weight of complex emotions paired with nuanced illustrations. Where every word matters,
and there are none to spare, we have debated ‘yup’ versus ‘yep.’ With a keen sense of continuity,
he will spot the off note and offer suggestions but also insist that I, the writer, find the solution.”
Suzanne Bloom, author & illustrator of the Goose & Bear series
“Larry Rosler is a talented editor who helped me shape my children's picture book manuscript in
a way that greatly improved the story arc and descriptive language. He offered just the right blend
of professional direction and artistic freedom, so that revisions felt like a positive, collaborative
effort between editor and author. I consider myself lucky to have worked with him!”
Roseanne Thong, author of Fly Free!
“In more than four decades of writing, I’ve worked with dozens of editors—at book publishers,
magazines, and newspapers—and among all these Larry Rosler is the best, hands down. After
Larry has worked on a manuscript, I’ve had the secure and relaxed feeling that we’ve gotten it
right. And, perhaps most important of all, every moment of our collaboration has been a pleasure.”
Karl Zimmermann, author of Steam Locomotives: Whistling, Chugging, Smoking Iron Horses of the Past
“Larry Rosler is one of those dream editors every author wants to work with—supportive, involved,
focused, and always encouraging. With Raggin’ Jazzin’ Rockin’: A History of American Musical Instrument Makers,
he was able to conceptualize a groundbreaking, award-winning children’s book from my broad strokes of an
idea, shepherding it with meticulous care through the editorial, production, and marketing processes.
Larry’s a true pro, and I'd work with him again in an instant.”
Susan VanHecke, author of Raggin’ Jazzin’ Rockin’: A History of American Musical Instrument Makers
