anitasilvey Anita Silvey

Anita Silvey has spent 1/3 of her career as a reviewer and critic, 1/3 as a publisher, and a 1/3 as an author and lecturer. On good days, it means she has many different approaches to new books.. On bad days she suffers from multiple personalities. Currently teaching in GLSLIS and in the Children’s Literature Program at Simmons College, Anita recently edited a collection of essays from leaders in a variety of fields, Everything I Need to Know I Learned from a Children’s Book (Roaring Brook). As a round one judge, she wants to “pick a winner” that can go on to win the competition.
