How to Feed an Editor: The Page Gallery Cookbook, Volume I

£21.06
This isn’t a writing guide. It’s a cookbook for drafts that keep dying in inboxes. How to Feed an Editor serves up recipe-style writing exercises designed to sharpen your work until it’s journal-ready. Each drill is disguised as a dish — from Knife Skills (Cutting Without Mercy) to The Burnt Bits (Risk & Embarrassment) — teaching you how to cut the flab, turn up the heat, and serve lines with real bite. Blunt, funny, and a little feral, this book is for ambitious writers aiming for the top literary journals (Granta, The New Yorker, Tin House). No MFA fluff, no sugar-coating — just practical recipes that force your drafts to sweat, scorch, and survive the slush pile. Features: Recipe-style drills with flavour profiles, ingredients, and methods. Mini “kitchen hacks” for fast fixes. Journal-specific specials (how to plate your work for Granta, The Offing, The Paris Review). This is the greasy back kitchen of writing — expect scorch marks. Features: Cover Material: Coated silk 250 gsm (100lb-120lb) with a matte lamination. High-Quality, Sustainable Paper: inner pages crafted from 170gsm coated silk (65lb cover or 100lb text) using FSC/PEFC-certified or equivalent paper. Front and back cover are printable.
