What Editors WantDiscover what leading publishers look for in an author and book. Author: Philip Connor Finn
What Editors Want is a new podcast in which I interview a different editor each week from the world of publishing. Its aimed at readers who want to hear the behind the scenes story of how their favourite books get made, and aspiring authors who want to know how to get published.Ive spoken to everyone from the biggest names in the industry to independent publishers taking a dynamic and innovative approach to making books. Along the way Ive met the editors behind Nobel and Booker Prize winning authors (and practically every other literary prize), ground-breaking non-fiction (from The Panama Papers to Why I'm No Longer Talking to White People About Race), with everything from kids books to cookbooks in between.My dream is that this podcast will make the world of books more approachable and inclusive for the authors and publishing professionals of tomorrow by hearing about the career paths of industry leading editors, and how they choose their books.Philip Connor Finn is an editor at award-winning publisher Unbound. He is the winner of the Faber & Faber Scholarship to UCL and the Cuirt Festivals New Writing Prize. He writes for publications including Boundless, Caught by the River and The Times Literary Supplement. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
