Chances are good that your editor is a book lover, and the kind of person who likes working with creative people. Our iPublish editors are fairly typical. They ve all been compulsive readers since childhood, and most of them will often still choose reading a book over watching TV or socializing. This acquisition mandate is usually generally guided by an editor s personal taste. You can find out the special interests of our own editors by visiting their Editor s Desks .
Editors do read for a living and read and read and read.
But you might not realize this if you follow an editor through a typical workday. Instead you ll see her answering telephone and e-mail messages, attending marketing meetings, negotiating contracts, and writing cover copy. Editors rarely, if ever, get to read in the office. They do their reading at home on the weekend, before they go to work in the morning, after they get home at night. Then she ll make sure that it s suitable for publication.
