She was an associate editor at Penguin Young Readers for 14 years, where she edited many successful series and created the Penguin Young Readers leveled reading program

Stepping back a bit, Bonnie is a true New Yorker. She was born in Queens, attended Forest Hills High School, and went to SUNY Binghamton, where she majored in English and Economics. Between her junior and senior year of college, Bonnie landed a summer job at Ballantine Books, where she eventually got her first job. After realizing she enjoyed working on children's books more than adult books, Bonnie embarked on a career in the children's publishing world. Along the way, Bonnie earned a Master's in Education Sciences, got married, and had two beautiful daughters. (And got a dog!)

Currently, Bonnie serves on the Advisory Board of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators and acts as an Editorial Advisor for the Society. When Bonnie is not working for the SCBWI, she teaches classes to published and pre-published authors and illustrators, creates new stories, and visits classrooms to share her love for reading and writing.
