Editors - freelance and in-house... CCM loves working with them all
Editors
Acquire properties through managements, agencies and production companies
Jump on promising submissions, often overnight
Seek approvals for changes from marketing, publicity, sales departments and publishing executives of many stripes
Establish the speculative worth of projects, often a year before scheduled publication
Work with freelance editors
Help authors write the best possible book
- for identified markets, and/or
- for the sake of continuing the Great Conversation rojects
Help projects reach their maximum potential
Recognize and encourage authors deserving their guiding light
Overcome insidious cutbacks on staff, at most publication levels, and, thereby undertake the following:
They become copywriters for book jackets, cover flaps, etc...
They establish and safeguard the official publishing house style book
They are forced to generate ideas for art departments, marketing departments (blurbs and content quotes)
They get roped into project launches - writing PR copy, forming marketing arcs, bantering with pitch persons
They work for nearly everybody: Managements, agencies, publishers, writers, production companies, book clubs, private previewer services - but, rarely just as editors
We know this because we're one of the most recognized editorial services on LinkedIn; and, we have the pleasure to work with superior editors and previewers every day.
