3A: A Rockstar Editor's Perspective on Revision FULL
Tweet Share
Limited Capacity full
When a seasoned editor looks at a manuscript, what does she see? How does she know how to best shape a story, or help find its heart? How does she know where to cut, or expand? And what moves her to acquire a particular novel, anyway?
In her more than twenty-five years at Penguin, Pamela Dorman has acquired and edited numerous #1 bestsellers, including The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd, Me Before You by Jojo Moyes, The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards, and Bridget Jones's Diary by Helen Fielding. Her recent bestselling debut titles include Natalie Baszile's Queen Sugar, J. Ryan Stradal's Kitchens of the Great Midwest, and Gail Honeyman's Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine.
Join two of Pam's newest authors, Louise Miller and Mira T. Lee, as we discuss debut novels, revision, and what a modern-day editor's role really is when it comes to shepherding new books into today's marketplace.
