SquawkRadio

I have to confess that I’ve never had the pleasure of working directly on a book with editor Shauna Summers but she and I have shared several really large pieces of chocolate cake and had many deep philosophical discussions about Brad Pitt’s hair.  (With the general consensus being that his LEGENDS OF THE FALL hair was the best.) Shauna is not only one of the most gifted editors working in women’s fiction today; she’s also one of the nicest.  And as you can tell by the list of authors she’s worked with, she has a real eye for talent.

She’s currently a Senior Editor at the Bantam Dell Publishing Group where she edits and acquires all kinds of commercial fiction, particularly romance and women’s fiction.  Some of her authors include Mary Balogh, Kay Hooper, Karen Marie Moning, Madeline Hunter, Tara Janzen and Shana Abe.  Shauna previously worked at Ballantine Books where she edited Suzanne Brockmann, Gaelen Foley, Cherry Adair and Laurell K. Hamilton.  After a two year sabbatical from publishing, Shauna returned to the business and her first home of Bantam in July 2005

We’re absolutely thrilled to welcome Shauna to Squawk Radio for the next two days.  She’s promised to pop in and answer your questions whenever she gets a chance as well.  So let’s give a hearty Squawk welcome to Shauna Summers!
