Faculty

Rachel Petty

Rachel Petty is an editor at Macmillan Children's Books where she's been happily ensconced for nearly four years, after taking an indirect route into publishing via an MA in Film Studies.

She works on fiction and non-fiction from 5+ to teen (with a particular fondness for YA) and has responsibility for the classics part of the list - including Milly-Molly-Mandy, Teddy Robinson and Gobbolino - which makes her happy because they're the books she was brought up on.
