Must see Harpercollins "How to Make a Book" videos to watch this weekend!

My YA trilogy will debut with Harpercollins Fall of 2014 and HarperKids recently launched this amazing series about How a Book is Made AND Revised, Edited, Designed - and BORN. All with the real people at Harper doing the videos and talking about their jobs (inside their offices in NYC) and what they do. It's fascinating. Of course, as a writer, I'm pretty familiar with the first few and had heard a lot about the rest of the in-house process, but the Production video was especially interesting to see the pieces of the book and how it all goes together. I've read about that process, but it was fun to actually *see* it.

These videos were created and narrated by the amazing writer, Lauren Oliver. I love her MG books.

There are 8 total, between 3-5 minutes apiece.

If you're in the book writing and publishing business, you'll enjoy these.

1. How a Book is Made: Developing Ideas w/ Lauren Oliver
2.Writing the Story w/ Lauren Oliver
3. Editing the Book w/Editorial Director Rosemary Brosnan
4. Creating the Art w/ Harper Art Director
5. Proofing the Story w/ Harper Managing Editor
6. Printing the Book, w/ Production Director

Enjoy!
