Stephen Brewer - Editor

Name: Stephen Brewer

Telephone: +1 407-233-3331

I am a project editor who has developed photography, architecture and other nonfiction titles for Random House and other publishers.

Overview

I have developed and edited books with leading photographers (the legendary Norman McGrath and Brenda Tharp, among others), celebrities (including Kaye Ballard and Katherine Hepburn), and many less famous but no less-hardworking authors who wish to showcase their work. I work closely with authors to organize their material, rework and enhance text as necessary, help select illustrations if included, do a thorough copy edit, and usually present a detailed thumbnail from which a designer can work. It's a genuine pleasure to help authors share their vision.

I've been an editor at national magazines, including Geo and Connoisseur, and have written for Esquire, Good Housekeeping, and others.

January, 1990 – Present (almost 32 years)

I cover England, Germany, Greece, Italy, and Scotland and other European destinations, doggedly digging up the details to bring these places to life for travelers. I also write about New York City, where I live when I am not residing in a small Tuscan hill town, an ideal place to work on long, involved projects.
