Megan Hustad - Editor

I've 15 years of experience in the book business. First I worked in editorial at Random House (now Penguin Random House), then at Basic Books and Counterpoint Press, where I got to work on a nice mix of literary fiction and nonfiction. Since venturing out on my own, my editing clients have included college presidents and U.S. Representatives, journalists and CEOs and chefs, plus the occasional friend who's written a children's book. What makes me effective is brutal honesty combined with a genuine, deep-seated desire to help people get their ideas across. You can expect equal parts encouragement and razor-sharp sentence rewrites (when needed).
