Anna Devries is a Executive Editor at Picador. She possess expertise in books, editorial, editing, publishing, non fiction and 7 more skills. Colleagues describe her as "I worked with Anna on my first book, Science of Monsters, and could not have been happier. She was phenomenally encouraging throughout the entire process but never afraid to take out a scalpel and chop out extraneous paragraphs. She helped me make my science writing the very best that it could be and, for that, I will forever owe her a tremendous debt of gratitude. In short, she’s amazing. I cannot recommend her highly enough." and "Anna is an insightful editor, as perceptive about the major themes of a story as about the characters and their most telling attributes. Her editorial notes are comprehensive and invaluable, as are the editorial suggestions for the text. I look forward to Anna's editorial assistance on future projects."
