Robert Gottlieb started in publishing in 1955. Just 10 years later he became editor-in-chief at publishing house Simon & Schuster. Following that, he went to Alfred A. Knopf, where he was again editor-in-chief. Over the course of his more than 60 year career, he became the most important editor in publishing, and edited hundreds of books. By his estimate, he edited more than 700, including books from Michael Crichton, Toni Morrison, former President Bill Clinton, and biographer Robert Caro.
Listen to hear advice from Gottlieb on editing, book design, marketing, and publishing.
