Ben Gambuzza – Editor

Bob Woodward, Carl Bernstein, Louis Menand, and Nathaniel Philbrick are just a few of the many best-selling authors who have hired me for editorial work, including research. As an editor and coach, I am proud that many of my clients, like Daniel Stone and Joanna Kempner, have gone on to publish at Five Big houses.

Although the books I work on are serious, I like to foster a humanistic and cordial relationship with my clients. I'm known for my ability to listen and ask incisive questions that make authors think, as well as my way of stoking a writer's enthusiasm about their project when motivation is lacking. My faith in my clients and my passion for their ideas manifest in genuine curiosity and honest feedback.

My motto for writing: Show, don't tell.
