She works with some of the best authors and illustrators in the business, including Andrew Joyner, Davina Bell, Carol Thompson, Freya Blackwood and David Mackintosh. Alyson previously worked as a senior editor, editor and publishing assistant, and from 2003 until 2007 was the children’s book buyer at Waterstones in Edinburgh, Scotland.
