Eva Avery – Editor

As a editor and writer I have had the opportunity to work with first time and long-time authors, contributing to the success of national and international bestselling campaigns.

I have worked closely on over 80 books for HarperCollins and Chronicle Books, collaborating as Assistant Editor on New York Times bestsellers including The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson, The Wild Unknown Collection by Kim Krans, the 642 things to Draw and Color series, and Wait, What? by Jim Ryan. I have edited both manuscripts and proposals, and helped develop books across self-help, humor, business, lifestyle, memoir, philosophy, social justice, health, and mind, body, spirit.

I have also collaborated on lead titles like Doing Harm: The Truth About How Bad Medicine and Lazy Science Leaves Women Dismissed, Misdiagnosed, and Sick by award-winning editor of Maya Dusenbery; The Existentialist’s Survival Guide: How to Live Authentically in an Inauthentic Age by Gordon Marino, the director of the Hong Kierkegaard Library at St. Olaf College and boxing correspondent for The Wall Street Journal; There Is No Good Card for This: What To Say and Do When Life is Scary, Awful, and Unfair to People You Love by Emily McDowell and Dr. Kelsey Crowe; and comedian Chris Gethard’s forthcoming self-help narrative Lose Well.

I believe in the power of storytelling, strategic marketing, and targeted branding. I look forward to helping authors strengthen their voice, develop concepts, and position their book in the marketplace in a creative, unique, and successful way.
