Betty Erickson is a publisher's dream. Her vast knowledge of young readers affords her the ability to write at all levels
of early literacy materials. She always holds her audience, whether it is beginning readers or young adults, at the
center of all that she creates. Betty is well-known for her humor and her knack of giving a twist to the ending of a story.
Nonfiction is also of great interest to Betty. She excels in bringing difficult subjects to a readable level for beginning
readers. She captures unique angles in her nonfiction writing to pull in readers and allow them to explore the topic in
engaging and interesting ways.
Betty can also sustain a character as evidenced by the huge success of her Sherman
series. Betty can take a nugget of fact or fiction and turn it into a work of delight for young readers. And just like those
readers, we have found that every envelope that contains a submission from Betty contains a bit of magic and it has
always been the highlight on a day when one of those envelopes arrives.
As editors, working with Betty from the beginning of a project to the marketing has been nothing less than an honor.
As we said, Betty is a publisher's dream.
