Doris Booth – Editor

Editor of an online writers' magazine, and longtime literary agent. Have produced more than 200 e-books and sold works to major publishers.

Overview

As both an editor and agent for many years, I have edited and sold works to major New York houses, including St. Martin’s Press, Simon & Schuster, Sterling Publishing (Barnes and Noble), Berkley Books/Penguin, Farrar Straus Giroux, and other dominant houses. I have also negotiated deals involving adaptations for hit Netflix documentary series and other production studios. I offer editorial and query letter critiques, as well as ways to target appropriate literary agents, and guidance for the self-publishing process. Still can't quite find my way around on the trains in New York City, but hey, we have taxis and the Internet.
