Product Information

I absolutely relied on the clear-sightedness and sensitivity of Sarah’s editing. She spotted errors and inconsistencies; she honed and improved and encouraged. My books owe her a lot! Renaissance woman Gevinson is now moving into acting at the age of 20, but Rookie is still going strong under her editorship. Tiger was slang for 'hottie', and so the name indicated the mag's twin interests: sexy boys and sexy music. It focussed on non-threatening, pretty stars such as David Cassidy and The Monkees, and sometimes just launched its own, such as the DeFranco family, as Consequence of Sound reported. Mizz was first published in April 1985. In March 2006 the magazine was sold by IPC Media to Panini UK. The magazine was published on a fortnightly basis until 2012 when its frequency was changed to monthly. Elsewhere in the show, Holly also admitted that she was left "hurt"by the recent reports that she is set to leave the ITV weekday show.

[2] As Fiction Editor at Scholastic Children’s Books, she acquired the best-selling Tom Gates series by Liz Pichon (winner of the Roald Dahl Funny Prize, the Red House Book Award, and the Waterstone’s Prize, and now translated into 36 languages). She was UK editor on The Hunger Games and the Captain Underpants series, and edited Dan Freedman’s Jamie Johnson series (now a CBBC TV show).Our passion is for high-quality writing that appeals to children and young adults. We have a deep understanding of what agents are looking for (and what they’re not looking for!), and a wide knowledge of the children’s book market.

The Lighthouse were brilliant at shepherding me in the right direction. Sarah could have pointed out the million things wrong with my book, but instead she identified what was working, where I needed to hone my craft, and where my writing came alive. Sarah also spent ten years as a journalist and magazine editor, writing for a wide range of publications, from The Guardian to Mizz magazine. She was a UNESCO City of Literature Writer in Residence in Krakow in 2017, and she is currently a mentor for All Stories, working with underrepresented writers who are unable to pay for support. Endorsements Launched in 1978, it's best remembered for its 80s heyday, with the likes of Boy George, Bananarama and Wham! and later Tiffany, A-Ha and Bros ("We used to read Smash Hits at school, and now we're on the cover - weird!") gracing its covers. Such stars also lived and died by the Smash Hits readers' poll. In 2012 online version of Mizz was started. [2] However, the magazine folded in 2013. [7] Say what? edit Tavi Gevinson first came to public attention as a 12-year-old with her precocious fashion blog Style Rookie in 2008. The blog, written from her home in middle-class suburban Chicago, soon had tens of thousands of readers, and led to Gevinson being interviewed by the New York Times, attending the world's biggest fashion weeks and modelling for cult US brand Rodarte.In the real life section, every issue showed a different story that someone has shared, about something "crazy, dramatic or unusual", usually there was a story about someone being hurt or a terrible experience. For example, in issue 652 the real life was "I'll never walk again". Sarah is a terrific editor. She understood the story I wanted to tell and helped me make it the best it could be. One of its first teen writers was future children's author Jacqueline Wilson, who joined the staff age 17, and models featured in its photostories and fashion shoots over the years included Garbage's Shirley Manson, newsreader Fiona Bruce, Hugh Grant and Leslie Ash. It also featured weekly pullout pop posters and a Silly Star File, a section that focused on light-hearted interviews. Previously, Sarah was Senior Editor at Floris Books where she acquired The Nowhere Emporium (winner of the Blue Peter Best Story Award 2016 and the Scottish Children’s Book Award 2016), Thorfinn The Nicest Viking (shortlisted for the Laugh Out Loud awards) and The Fourth Bonniest Baby in Dundee (shortlisted for the Bookbug Picture Book Prize). Launched with a free issue given away with Smash Hits in 1984, J-17, as it soon became known, was the market leader in young women’s mags for a decade. Despite the name, it was primarily read by 13-14 year olds who wanted to feel older and more sophisticated, in the know with slang like 'crush', 'snog' and 'boyf'.
