As the executive editor of Potter Craft, my main focus is acquisitions, which means I look for and work with authors to develop new book projects. When I tell people about what I do they often say, “That sounds fun,” and they’re right. I love connecting and working with artists and designers to realize ideas for books that will inspire and inform our readers. The question that usually comes next—“How do you find new ideas?”—actually has several answers.
