Jill Davis is the Editorial Director of Hippo Park, an imprint of Astra Books for Young Readers that publishes illustrated books for children from 0-14. Hippo Park launched in Fall, 2022. Since jumping into the world of children’s books in 1992, Jill has held editorial positions at Random House, Penguin, Bloomsbury, FSG, and HarperCollins. She took a break from publishing from 2009 until 2013 and did the MFA in Writing for Children and Teens at Hamline University in St. Paul. She is the author of three published picture books and completed a novel during her MFA (which she loved writing but believes no one should ever have to see.) She adores funny, poignant picture books, quirky non-fiction, graphic novels and illustrated chapter books. She lives in NYC and Long Island, is mom to two young adults, two ridiculous dogs, and wife to one lovely husband.
