Description

Writing a novel is a private process. But, submitting that story for editing and preparation as a commercial book is another matter. Then it becomes a collaborative process that calls for the author to stand up for the story and the vision that inspired it. The editor has to understand that he does not control the story or the vision, but he has a duty to readers who will come after him. Between the Sheets is a look at this collaborative process through creatively charged email exchanges between two old friends and former colleagues: one a new author who has labored for some years on a first novel, the other a former book editor and author with a dozen novels behind him. Together they explore what it means to be a writer in the digital age and, they offer a peek behind the curtain at writer and editor shaping a story for its ultimate purpose—a book that meets the needs and expectations of readers.
