Going ‘Whole Whale’ into Children’s Literature: An Interview with Karen Yin

I’m happy to say that my little boy is very interested in books, so I’ve spent a lot of the last few months cuddled up on the couch reading board books and other children’s literature.

Lucky for me, I was able to chat over email about this exact subject with Karen Yin, well-known in editing circles as the force behind the Conscious Style Guide, and familiar to Guild members as the wonderful keynote speaker at our 2017 Red Pencil conference! She has recently made the dive into children’s literature with an upcoming picture book geared toward three-to-six-year-olds entitled Whole Whale, due out from Barefoot Books in May 2021 (preorder here).
