A one-man show - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Overlook Press

Work very close with CEO. Learn a lot about editing, executive communications, inter-workings of publishing and organizational management w/r to publishing.

CEO has a very strong personality

The staff at Overlook are overworked and under-appreciated, but against all odds, they manage to put out an astounding amount of quality books. My former colleagues were some of the brightest, most talented, funniest, and patient people. If I could be thankful for anything from this hellish experience, it would be that I had the opportunity to befriend them.

In short, the management at Overlook is ruining the company one delayed meeting, one re-scheduled pub date, and one enraged author at a time. The publisher refuses to step down from his position because his inflated ego has convinced him the company can't stand on its own. What he doesn't understand is that he is the source of nearly all the company's problems.
