Charlotte Zolotow
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charlotte Zolotow (born Charlotte Gertrude Shapiro June 26, 1915, in Norfolk, Virignia) is an American author, poet, and editor/publisher of many books for children. Although she herself has been published by more than 20 different houses (many of which she has outlived), she was an editor, and later publisher, at only one. This was the former Harper & Row, which was called Harper & Brothers when she began to work there and is now called HarperCollins.
Among the many writers she edited are Paul Fleischman, Paul Zindel, Mary Rogers, Robert Lipsyte, and Francesca Lia Block.
She is the mother of the writer Crescent Dragonwagon and poker tournament champion Stephen Zolotow and the former wife of the late show business biographer, Maurice Zolotow. She lives in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York.
