The Forest For The Trees by Betsy Lerner

An Editor's Advice to Writers

A candid blend of memoir and practical counsel that pulls back the curtain on the writing life and the publishing world, offering frank advice about craft, revision, submission, and the emotional work of being a writer; through personal anecdotes and tough-love encouragement the book demystifies editorial decision-making, explains how talent and persistence intersect, and helps writers confront rejection, maintain perspective, and develop the professional habits and resilience needed to pursue a literary career.
