Lately, my desk is a conversation between three books.

Cane's Fiction Writing Masterclass — I read it to understand how the writers I edit think. How they build tension sentence by sentence, how they make a reader feel before they understand why.

Norton's Developmental Editing — the quiet mentor I turn to when a manuscript is almost there but not quite. He reminds me my job is to see the book the author hasn't written yet.

Sugarman's Copywriting Handbook — I picked it up for the clarity. He writes like he's across from you, explaining why people pause, why they finally say yes. It's teaching me about attention.

Three shelves. One thread: I'm always learning how stories work.
