Editor of Day One 

 Interview Starts at 19:16

I’m looking to be moved. I’m looking for something that’s entertaining. When I read something, I read it through the eyes of any other reader. I put myself in the perspective of the person getting the story delivered on their Kindle, and they’re thinking, “OK, great. What’s my story for the week?†So I constantly am thinking about making sure the story really delivers, whether that’s through a great story or through great characters, or a really interesting way of telling a story, an interesting narrative voice.
