Let’s find the heart of your story.
A seasoned editor and writer with over fifteen years of experience in children’s & adult trade book publishing, I’m passionate about working with writers, creators, and brands at all stages of a project—from brainstorming the seed of an exciting concept to the final polish before publication or launch.
Hi, I’m Alex.
Testimonials
"Alex is an exceptional editor. She has a bone-deep understanding of stories and what makes them tick, and even better: she understands how authors tick. Our brainstorming sessions were legendary—I'd leave feeling giddy with excitement over the work ahead.”
—Bree Barton, author of Heart of Thorns
“To say that Alex elevated my work would be a huge understatement. She fundamentally changed my understanding of storytelling and empowered me to push outside of my comfort zone to write the best books possible. She is the kind of editor authors dream of having-- one who digs into the trickiest, most challenging parts of your book with you, and makes the revision process illuminating, exciting, joyful, and possible.”
—Corey Ann Haydu, author of Eventown and Mothers and Other Strangers
"Alex Arnold is the dream editor you didn’t know you needed: the perfect combination of kind, supportive, enthusiastic, and also dead-on exact with criticism. She clearly sees a manuscript’s flaws, but shows them to you in a way that makes you excited to change them."
—Terra McVoy, author of This is All Your Fault, Cassie Parker
