Book Editor
Watch Karen Murphy, Senior Editor at Jossey-Bass, share how a passion for reading propelled her into a career acquiring and developing books for her publishing company. She works with authors on the broad scope of their work; do the chapters hold together? Is anything missing? Is there anything repeated or redundant?
