At first, I thought this was a memoir.
Instead, it is a collection, a biography, of Toni’s acquisitions as an editor at Penguin Random House.

If you are seeking editing advice, this is not that. This is more about Toni dealing with the people behind the writing rather than the actual work.

You can tell how passionate Toni was with the works she picked and curated and promoted.

This was informative of the black author movement as well as how the role of editors has changed over the years. Especially with a bigger emphasis on marketing and publicity and people being assigned to that.

This doesn’t touch much on Toni’s on writing except for mentions to give you an idea of the timeline.
