The Forest for the Trees (Revised and Updated): An Editor's Advice to Writers
By the author of Shred Sisters, longlisted for The Center for Fiction First Novel Prize 

"The Forest for the Trees should become a permanent part of any writer's or editor's personal library." -The Seattle Times


Quickly established as an essential and enduring companion for aspiring writers when it was first published, Betsy Lerner's sharp, funny, and insightful guide has been meticulously updated and revised to address the dramatic changes that have reshaped the publishing industry in the decade since. From blank page to first glowing (or gutting) review, Betsy Lerner is a knowing and sympathetic coach who helps writers discover how they can be more productive in the creative process and how they can better their odds of not only getting published, but getting published well. This is an essential trove of advice for writers and an indispensable user's manual to both the inner life of the writer and the increasingly anxious place where art and commerce meet: the boardrooms and cubicles of the publishing house.
