Jon Gosch – Editor

Editor of numerous acclaimed, award-winning, and bestselling authors. Specialties include novels, memoirs, and assorted creative nonfiction.

Overview

Jon has edited dozens of books as the Executive Editor/Publisher of Latah Books (one of the premier publishers in the American West) and as a veteran freelancer.

His editing successes include Spy Daughter/Queer Girl (California Book Award finalist and Lambda Award finalist), Twentymile (Georgia Book Award finalist), Freaks of a Feather (Eugene Sledge Award winner for best memoir), Beautiful Wounds (signed by W.W.

Jon has a wealth of experience at every stage of the editing process — developmental editing, line editing, copy editing, and proofreading. He also relishes helping authors navigate the oft-bewildering complexities of what comes next: querying, book design, publication, marketing, promotion, etc.

In addition to his work as an editor and publisher, Jon is a national award-winning journalist and the author of two novels: Deep Fire Rise (one of three 2019 Spur Award finalists for Best Contemporary Novel) and If We Get There.
