Taylor joined the company as editor in 1998, and six years later was named editorial director, and was most recently associate publisher and creative director. In her different roles, Taylor helped to create some of the publisher's most profitable brands, including BabyLit, PocketDoodles, and the 101 Things to Do With cookbook series.
