What Editors Won't Tell You

A behind the scenes look at the acquisitions and editorial process. A one-hour audio presentation.

Editor, Les Stobbe, sheds light on the acquisitions process and answers questions like "Why does the process take so long?" This presentation offers the writer a look behind the scenes at not only the editorial process and the editor's work, but also offers a glimpse into Christian publishing.

DISCLAIMER: This audio was originally recorded many years ago on cassette. Thus the audio quality may not be crystal clear. Fortunately the general content is still of interest and the speaker's expertise comes through. What editors look for today may have changed.

The lecture was originally given at an American Christian Writers conference. If you want more information on their conferences and services visit www.acwriters.com.
