To ease the suffering of end-of-summer blues, we’re pleased to bring you a special treat by welcoming book collaborator and editor Meghan Stevenson as our Book Lunch guest expert. Meghan worked at Simon & Schuster and Penguin USA (now Penguin Random House) as a nonfiction book editor before launching her own freelance book editing business in 2012. She has worked with authors at all stages of the publishing process, and is so much fun to chat with that I almost want to keep this one to myself!
As a book editor, Meghan came up with the idea for, developed, and published The Bro Code by Barney Stinson and Matt Kuhn, a New York Times bestselling book based on the TV sitcom “How I Met Your Mother.” Meghan also edited two bestsellers from actress Danica McKellar (known best for her role as “Winnie Cooper” onThe Wonder Years) as well as The First 20 Minutes, a New York Times bestselling book on fitness by New York Times Phys Ed columnist Gretchen Reynolds. In her freelance career, Meghan has helped nearly thirty authors develop, write, or revise their book projects, including two full collaborations (Glamorous by George by George Kotsiopoulous, Abrams and The Cheat System Diet by Jackie Wicks, St. Martin’s Press.)
She also teaches the art of book editing as an adjunct professor at Pace University in their Master of Science in Publishing program.
