I cannot praise John Jarrold's skills as an editor enough.
He has taste. He is perceptive, positive and tactful, with a keen eye
for a plot fault and a skilled hand at correcting one! Everyone I know
who has worked with him has had nothing but praise for him. If your
book requires attention and restoring to health – send for Doctor
John! John Jarrold has been the editor and advisor of a virtual
'who's who' of the fantasy and science fiction genres. Indeed, in a
number of cases, the authors became members of the 'who's
who' elect because of his work with them. Jarrold knows his craft;
equally important, he knows just about everyone in the craft, in publishing
houses on both sides of the Atlantic - and now reaching across the
Pacific. Any aspiring writer looking to benefit from both a keen editorial
eye and savvy advice on the market would do well to beat a cyberpath
to his door. John Jarrold is beyond doubt one of the world's great sf editors.
Without his unquestioned knowledge and talents the genre would be a
much poorer place... John Jarrold was my first editor, and the person who bought my first
book and put everything he could behind it. He showed incredible patience
as deadlines loomed for my second book, and my third, and final chapters
arrived one by one with enormous plot changes every pit-stop. He knows
what he's doing and can think on his feet, and he's a great guy. Working with John was always a pleasure; he's enthusiastic, conscientious,
careful, and of course possesses a wealth of experience of the fantasy
genre. A safe pair of hands. Without John Jarrold, my novel The Light Ages would probably still
be half-finished. John's simply a great editor, and a wise professional
with enormous experience in the publishing field. He cares about books
and the people who write them, and sees the things which need to be
seen. John can provide even the most experienced writer with perspective
and perspicacity. He has a natural eloquence and feeling for nuance
that's all too rare in today's publishing world. Taking his advice
is one of the best things any author can do with their manuscript. |
