Lou Aronica – Editor

I've been in the book business since 1979, ranging from founding Bantam's Spectra science fiction and fantasy line to serving as Deputy Publisher at Bantam, Publisher at Berkley, Publisher at Avon Books and, most recently, President and Publisher of an independent publishing house that I co-founded. Along the way, I have edited hundreds of manuscripts, with a particular passion for science fiction, fantasy, literary fiction, women's fiction, thrillers, and suspense.

Beyond fiction, I am very comfortable working with a wide range of nonfiction, and here is where I have had my greatest success as a writer, collaborating on bestsellers with Sir Ken Robinson, Jim Kwik, Clotaire Rapaille, and others.

I love helping writers discover the best versions of their stories and, as a student of the publishing industry and an active participant in this ever-evolving business, I am happy to share what I have learned in terms of editing and beyond.
