Interview with Hannah Barnes-Murphy, book editor. Age 24. Comes from Salisbury, Wiltshire.

What does a book editor do?
Well, I project manage a book, usually working on two titles at any one time. My job is to see the book through from manuscript stage to the final printed version. I liaise with the commissioning editor, the author and the design and production departments. In the early stages of the project I'll be reading the manuscript, in the later stages; checking the printed proofs. Of course, the job could be organised slightly differently in other publishing companies.
Is this what you always wanted to do?
So did you study something related to that career choice?
How did you get your present job?
What do you like most about it?
It sounds a great job. Is there anything that's not so good about it?
Any advice?
Do you look forward to work every day?
