Editing is an invisible art where the very best work goes undetected. Editors strive to create books that are enlightening, seamless, and pleasurable to read, all while giving credit to the author. This makes it all the more difficult to truly understand the range of roles they inhabit while shepherding a project from concept to publication. In What Editors Do, Peter Ginna gathers essays from twenty-seven leading figures in book publishing about their work. Representing both large houses and small, and encompassing trade, textbook, academic, and children's publishing, the contributors make the case for why editing remains a vital function to writers--and readers--everywhere. Ironically for an industry built on words, there has been a scarcity of written guidance on how to actually approach the work of editing. This book will serve as a compendium of professional advice and will be a resource both for those entering the profession (or already in it) and for those outside publishing who seek an understanding of it. It sheds light on how editors acquire books, what constitutes a strong author-editor relationship, and the editor's vital role at each stage of the publishing process--a role that extends far beyond marking up the author's text. This collection treats editing as both art and craft, and also as a career. It explores how editors balance passion against the economic realities of publishing. What Editors Do shows why, in the face of a rapidly changing publishing landscape, editors are more important than ever.Binding Type: Paperback

Smart Design
Color: Brushed Nickel, Size: 8.85 inch
Glad I purchased these with the longer tab that hangs over the back of the cabinet door. I feel they are not likely to fall off when pulling towel off the holder.
Was surprised that the foam insert did not go all the way along the inside. It is just in front and back. I didn't want the metal part scratching my cabinet door top, so I used self-stick felt pads on the inside top to prevent scratching. A quick solution to prevent possible scratching of the cabinet.
Overall, a good purchase for a reasonable price. Does the job, especially when I didn't want to attach a towel rod to the wall.

These towel holders are perfect !
Color: Brushed Nickel, Size: 8.85 inch
These are awesome ! Fit very well on my kitchen cabinet doors. My cabinet doors are beveled a bit at the top so I was concerned these towel holders wouldn’t fit right but they fit great !

good quality
Color: Brushed Nickel, Size: 8.85 inch
i have purchased similar types from other sellers and i think this is by far the best. it goes deeper into the cabinet door therefore does mot fall off and also stays in place, not moving or sliding around. . the others also have broken over time
