Rocky Mountain Writer #161

Posted on March 7, 2019 by Mark Stevens

James Persichetti & Lost Hat Editorial 

This week we interviewed editor, writer, and all-around interesting guy James Persichetti.

We discuss his recent career move from managing foreign rights at a literary agency; the difference between all the many types of editing; and the best tactics for making your novel stand out to agents, editors, and readers.

James Persichetti is a freelance developmental editor for a wide variety of genres and the founder of Lost Hat Editorial Services.

Prior to editing, James worked for over three years with Nelson Literary Agency, reading submissions and selling foreign rights.

In his free time, he writes fiction, practices various languages, and is on a quest to find the perfect flour-to-egg ratio for fresh pasta.
