NASHVILLE, Tenn. – (March 25th, 2014) B&H Publishing Group is pleased to announce that
Michelle Prater Burke has joined the company as the new Acquisitions and Development Editor for B&H Kids.
This is a new position for B&H Kids as the line continues to expand after successful launches of Audrey Bunny by Angie Smith and The Big Picture Interactive Storybook Bible.
For the last several years, Michelle Burke has been an editor at HarperCollins Christian Publishing, where she worked with both the Thomas Nelson Gift Books team and the Tommy Nelson children’s imprint.
