EILEEN ROBINSON


Eileen Robinson has worked in children’s publishing for nearly 30 years, and is still in love with creating children’s books and helping authors gain the confidence to tell their stories. She was an editor with Scholastic and Harcourt, and in 2019 helped build and launch Reycraft Books children’s imprint (Benchmark Education). She then started her own independent publishing house, Move Books, which strove to inspire reluctant middle-graders—especially boys—to read. Her mission was embraced by Charlesbridge Publishing in 2022 when they acquired Move Books as a new imprint (now Charlesbridge Moves) and she stayed on as Editorial Director. Eileen also teaches with Highlights and mentors young writers and future editors and publishers in underserved communities.

Upon reading her work, you may be shocked that she’s only just begun writing her own stories. . . (We’re so glad she has!)
