Thinking Like Your Editor
October 22, 2004
I have been reading a very good book, Thinking Like Your Editor, by literary agents Susan Rabiner and Albert Fortunato. It was recommended by my agent, Margot Maley, as I began to dig into this next book project. It makes a general point that I already understood—that publishing serious nonfiction depends on clearly identifying an audience and why it would read your book. But it makes the point very well. It is full of good advice, and drives home its point with a lot of good questions and examples.
If you are interested in publishing a nonfiction book, I would recommend you read this book before you undertake the project.
