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

What does a book editor do?
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?
Dealing with the authors - I love reading their text and thinking about possible improvements. I like discussing the book with them, then seeing the final finished product. It's very satisfying. My work is very varied too, depending on what stage the project is at and I like that. There is also a lot of teamwork and you really do feel you're all working together to create something special.
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?
