What Editing Books Looks Like from My Summer Intern's Perspective
from Publishing Disrupted · host Mick Silva and David Morris
When David asked if my oldest daughter Ellie would like to come on and share her impressions of working to edit with me as her senior college internship this summer, I knew immediately this episode would be one of my favorites so far. We covered the gamut from the different stages of the editing process, to why rejecting queries can be such a challenge. I wish we'd filmed this one so you could see me smiling like a goob the whole time. But if you're curious what a Zoomer thinks about book editing and publishing in today's cultural climate--especially as she's gone no-contact with church as well--please tune in!Releasing Aug 4, 2026: The Future of an Illusion: Introduction and Annotations on Freud’s Enduring Critique of Religion by David R.
