Emily Taber – Editor

I edit manuscripts and develop book proposals for academics, journalists, and business practitioners looking to publish non-fiction books for general readers that change the way we think about the world.

As a former Big Five and university press editor, I have spent my career editing research-backed, argument-driven books from top experts. Whether your goal is to publish with a trade house, a university press, or to self-publish, I offer the editorial support you need to tell compelling stories and to transform ideas into actionable insights.

I have previously worked at Hachette Book Group, as an executive editor in the Basic Books Group, where I worked across the Basic Books, Seal Press, PublicAffairs, and Basic Venture imprints. Before that, I was the economics, finance, and business editor at the MIT Press.

I believe in a collaborative working relationship tailored to the specific needs of each project, so please feel free to reach out to find out more about what it would be like to work together!
