The Forest For the Trees by Betsy Lerner

The Forest For the Trees by Betsy Lerner

The Forest for the Trees should become a permanent part of any writer's or editor's personal library. -The Seattle Times

Quickly established as an essential and enduring companion for aspiring writers when it was first published, Betsy Lerner's sharp, funny, and insightful guide has been meticulously updated and revised to address the dramatic changes that have reshaped the publishing industry in the decade since. From blank page to first glowing (or gutting) review, Betsy Lerner is a knowing and sympathetic coach who helps writers discover how they can be more productive in the creative process and how they can better their odds of not only getting published, but getting published well. This is an essential trove of advice for writers and an indispensable user's manual to both the inner life of the writer and the increasingly anxious place where art and commerce meet: the boardrooms and cubicles of the publishing house.

The Forest for the Trees and Food and Loathing are two books by Betsy Lerner. She has won the Thomas Wolfe Poetry Prize, the Academy of American Poets Poetry Prize, and the Tony Godwin Prize for Editors, as well as being named one of PEN's Emerging Writers. Lerner lives in New Haven, Connecticut, and is a partner with the literary agency Dunow, Carlson & Lerner.
