A Day in the Life of an Editor - with Anne Groell

A Day in the Life of an Editor - with Anne Groell

New Year, new start and I thought we'd dive straight back in and continue with our insight into the publishing industry and who does what. Having been an editor for 15 years, and still doing rather a lot of it now - I suppose I could have done this myself - but really - so much more interesting to talk to someone else. :-D

So from across the other side of the pond, we chat to Anne Groell who is an SFF Executive editor over at Random House USA.

I ask two of the best UK horror writers writing today for their tips on how to send shivers down your spine.
