Laura Backes, publisher of CBI, has worked in the field since 1986, and has held positions with several publishers including Ballantine and Farrar, Straus & Giroux.  She is also a former literary agent and freelance editor.  Her book, Best Books for Kids Who (think they) Hate To Read was published by Prima/Random House in 2001.

Chris Woodworth, author of  When Ratboy Lived Next Door, Georgie’s Moon, and
 Double-Click for Trouble (Farrar, Straus & Giroux):

“Laura helped me clean up my first novel manuscript, then made helpful structural suggestions.
An agent picked it up and piqued the prompt interest of an editor.
