OverviewFrom 1998 to 2023, only 3.5% (or less) of Black book editors worked as full-time staff at American book publishing houses. Editing While Black takes readers on a transformative journey of selfdetermination, personal growth, and shifting identity. As the only Black woman editor on staff, the author navigates racism and pivotal life lessons while working full-time at book publishing houses. From her formative years as a shy child growing up in Philadelphia, to the ups and downs of corporate life in Philadelphia and Colorado, every step is a lesson learned and a quest to overcome the challenges of being-the only. In this eloquent and inspiring account, the author's resilience becomes a guiding light, and each challenge becomes a stepping stone-a testament to the belief that there aren't any missteps you can't come back from. Readers are invited to witness not only the play by play of her editing journey, but to understand how hardship leads to healing, and how every twist of fate can become a powerful realization. Editing While Black is a memoir that challenges the status quo and celebrates the human spirit's desire to push and move forward.
