Nan Talese is senior vice president at Doubleday Publishing and editorial director of her own imprint. Margaret Atwood is the internationally lauded author of many books, including “The Handmaid’s Tale” and its recent sequel, “The Testaments.”

The Talese and Atwood interview is a “Great American Editors” segment of the “Behind the Book” series. These interviews focus on leading gatekeepers in publishing who bring great works to fruition—from the germ of an idea to the production of a physical book. Talese is one of the unsung heroes of the publishing world who transform promising, but rough, manuscripts into polished gems, the kind of works critics will laud and readers will relish for decades, even centuries to come. “Behind the Book: Great American Editors” celebrates the crucial role editors play and takes you inside America’s legendary publishing houses as top editors discuss their work with their most successful authors.
