Nan Talese, Editor and publisher

Article Abstract:

Nan Talese oversees the publication of about 10 to15 fiction and nonfiction titles a year as president, publisher, and editorial director of the Nan A. Talese imprint of Doubleday Books. Talese has a knack for recognizing and developing talent, which often involves forfeiting sales, at least initially, and shows particular faith and foresight in promoting the work of talented authors whose debut efforts sell modestly.
