What do acquisitions editors do at scholarly presses? What things make a book project stand out? When is the best time to contact presses and editors? Why is it incredibly useful to work with a developmental editor?
In this episode, I welcome Jenny Gavacs, a developmental editor who specializes in sharpening arguments and improving the flow of academic books. We discuss all of these questions and so much more. Jenny shares insights from her extensive experience in acquisitions at top university presses and highlights the multifaceted role that editors play.
We also discuss the three different types of scholarly arguments, the importance of developmental editing, and how early engagement with editors can enhance the overall success of your book.
