It is with great sadness that we report that Deborah Brodie passed away on June 27th, 2012. Publisher's Weekly has posted an obituary, here.
Nathan Englander, author of international literary bestsellers:
“Deborah Brodie is a gifted editor with a golden ear. She can see a story’s true potential and — walking you through draft after draft — she’ll guide you to that mark. She’s a treasure.”
Jane Yolen, award-winning author of 300 books for children, teens, and adults:
“Anyone really interested in publishing the very best book they can write could hardly do better than with Deborah’s editorial advice.”
Tracey Adams and Josh Adams, international literary agents:
“Our clients value Deborah’s vast publishing knowledge, in-depth editing, and nurturing presence.”
Patricia Reilly Giff, author of two Newbery-Honor winners:
“Deborah Brodie is a wonderful editor, warm and responsive to the writer.”
