Description

Masterclass 9 – Communicating with authors and publishing clients

In this, our final Fiction Editing Masterclass for 2022, we took a deep dive into the business of communicating with our authors and publishing clients, from the initial contact to maintaining a long-term professional relationship.

By the end of this Masterclass, participants should be able to:

• Analyse different ways of communicating with clients, focusing on their relative strengths in different contexts.
• Identify the important phases in the working partnership and explore ways to initiate and sustain a good working relationship.
• Evaluate different styles of editorial responses and author queries, including in-text comments, editorial reports and iterative document development.
