Behind the publishing curtain
Veronica Roth outlines the publishing process step-by-step and gives a much-deserved nod to the people that make it happen:
I think it’s important to put aside a somewhat romanticized view of book writing in which it’s just the author and the pages and sometimes the editor. And the reason I think it’s important is that there are so many people involved in this process – people who work so hard, and who are really indispensable.
It’s a fascinating and concise insight, especially if you’ve no idea how it all works. The thing I’d like to add to the paragraph quoted above is that yes, all those people do work very hard, but they are also very professional. They know exactly what they’re doing. And we know how important that is.
