Summary: One of the best pieces of literature I've read
Comment: Whether you are planning to write for the first time (my case) or you would like to increase the appeal of your next books, "Thinking Like your Editor" seems to be an insuperable guide. The book's best contribution is probably that it puts you in your reader's shoes and leads you to gain possession of this sensibility before expecting to be read. As I understand from this book, editors function as representatives of the reader, like customer proxies, who protect readers from being annoyed or deceived by autistic writers and protect writers from having their book rejected by readers. It shows that it was written with honesty, knowledge, vast experience and, more importantly, with sincere desire to help. I rate it gladly with 5 stars.

Summary: Best so far
Comment: I've purchased and read quite a few books on this topic and this is clearly the best oone I've read so far. Not only does it take one through the mechanics of the book proposal in a useful and reader-friendly way, it does so very definitely from the perspective of the editor. The section on creating narrative tension in nonfiction writing is worth the price of the book all by itself.
