Caroline W – Editor

A passionate fiction editor with Big 5 experience who has worked on more than a dozen New York Times bestsellers.

Overview

I’m a fiction editor who has been working in the publishing industry for five years, beginning at a small agency and then moving to an editorial position at a Big 5 publisher. I’ve had the opportunity to work with more than a dozen New York Times bestselling authors across a broad range of fiction—from book club fiction to women’s fiction, speculative fiction, historical fiction, fantasy, rom-com, and seemingly everything in between! I love working closely with authors to bring their characters and stories to life, and I’ve been called the “plot-whisperer” by colleagues and authors alike!
