Editorial Director for Amazon.com books

Interview starts at 21:41

The kinds of books that we call out—we do see that some of them go on to be successful. Did we call it, or did we cause it? I don’t know. I wouldn’t claim credit for it, but I’m thrilled to be part of the conversation. And I think that writers and readers know that we are.
