As my Valentine's Day gift to you, I retrieved an old interview from the dusty archives of The Publishing Spot. Way back in 2006, I interviewed Sam Douglas--an associate editor at Picador.
Picador has published critically acclaimed novels like Paul Auster's The Brooklyn Follies and memoirs like Running with Sissors by Augusten Burroughs, and Douglas had plenty of advice for aspiring writers.
In the loving hope that someday an editor will be reading your work, check out this special interview with a real, live book editor...
Sam Douglas explained How To Write the Best Book Proposal.
Then took us on a tour Inside a Fiction Editor's Bookshelf.
Followed by career advice about How To Become an Editor.
And then gave some frank Publishing Advice From A Fiction Editor.
At which point he took us on another tour, this time Inside the Critical Mind of a Fiction Editor.
