Praise for Allegra ‘s book How to Edit and Be Edited

“How to Edit and Be Edited is a book every publishing house should press into the hands of their young editors as they set out on llearing a skill that involves such subtlety, empathy, strength and understanding. It will swiftly become an indispensable handbook for editors everywhere.”

—Alexandra Pringle, founder and former president of Bloomsbury (publishers of the Harry Potter books)

“Should be required reading for all writers and editors, as well as all creative writing teachers and students. Whether you’re a newbie beginner or a well-seasoned pro, thse books will make you a better editor and writer.”

— Kate Christensen, PEN/Faulkner Award-winning novelist and Visiting Professor at Iowa Writers’ Workshop

“Deft, clear, and charming, without a wasted word. The series, which might as well be subtitled ‘Things writers are too embarrassed to ask about,’ promises to immediately fill a tremendous need in the lives of those who still live and die by the book.”

— Jonathan Lethem, NYT bestselling novelist and professor of writing at Pomona College
