Editors are often the unsung heroes of the publishing world. But with self-publishing rife today, is the editor an endangered species? Just what goes on in the writer– editor relationship?

Join two award-winning South Island novelists, Owen Marshall and Laurence Fearnley, as they discuss their new books, Carnival Sky and Reach, both realist works of subtlety and insight, and reveal the mechanics, and the highs and lows, of working with their editor, Anna Rogers. And she will remove her cloak of invisibility and return the favour.

Chaired and refereed by Chris Moore.
