How does the author / editor relationship work?
In this Orion Uncut series, we chat to Francesca Pathak, Commissioning Editor at Orion Fiction, about what the process is for a large publisher to structurally alter a debut novel.
Orion books is part of Hachette – one of the largest publishers in the world. We were granted behind-the-scenes access to their flagship London offices to chat to the people who make traditionally-published books happen.
Join debut author Sarah Juckes as she discovers how an editor helps an author alter their book, and who else is involved in the process. We also ask the questions you really want to know, like who has the final say on changes?
Full to the brim of editing tips, this is a film for any debut-hopeful to watch.
