It's all about emotion

Cheryl Klein, senior editor at Arthur A. Levine Books (an imprint of Scholastic) recently shared with Writer's Digest the best publishing advice she's ever received. "It's all about emotion," she said. "First, the emotion the author can create in me, the reader. Then the emotion I, as an editor, carry into the house, passing my excitement on to our sales staff so they'll carry it forward to booksellers and thence to readers. And then the readers discover the emotion in the book all over again."

Emotion is GOOD!
