Chris Pavone Zitate

Before I wrote my first novel, 'The Expats,' I spent nearly two decades at various arms of publishing houses such as Random House, Workman, and HarperCollins, mostly as an acquisitions editor. But a more accurate title for that job might be rejection editor: while I acquired maybe a dozen projects per year, I'd reject hundreds upon hundreds.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Bevor ich meinen ersten Roman "The Expats" schrieb, verbrachte ich fast zwei Jahrzehnte in verschiedenen Bereichen von Verlagen wie Random House, Workman und HarperCollins, meist als Akquisitionsredakteur. Aber ein genauerer Titel für diesen Job könnte Ablehnungsredakteur sein: Während ich vielleicht ein Dutzend Projekte pro Jahr erworben habe, lehne ich Hunderte von Hunderten ab.

A lot of the writers I've known for 20 years, who used to say, 'Maybe they're right - the novel is dead!' - well, now they don't feel that it's necessarily the biggest job or most sacred calling on the planet. But it's definitely a real thing - it's always been here, always will be here, and one might just as well buckle down and get to work.

Before the widespread rise of the Internet and easy publishing tools, influence was largely in the hands of those who could reach the widest audience, the people with printing presses or access to a wide audience on television or radio, all one-way mediums that concentrated power in the hands of the few.
