The forest for the trees : an editor's advice to writers
Lerner, Betsy
The forest for the trees : an editor's advice to writers / Betsy Lerner - New York : Riverhead Books , c2000. - 284 p. ; 22 cm.
Includes bibliographical references (p. [278]-284).
In a recent New York Times article, Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., wrote, "there were creative-writing teachers long before there were creative-writing courses, and they were called and continue to be called editors." And who better to teach writing than a passionate editor with years of experience working with successful writers and discovering new voices? Betsy Lerner is such an editor -- sharp, funny, psychologically astute, and deeply intuitive. In The Forest for the Trees she shares her editorial wisdom and imparts an insider's understanding of the publishing process. Categorizing writers within personality types -- the natural (who appears to do it effortlessly); the wicked child (with an axe to grind); the flasher (who loves to dazzle) -- she helps readers to better understand their relationship to writing.
