37 S3 Ep 22: The Work of an Acquisitions Editor with David Zimmerman - The Getting Published series, Part 4

David Zimmerman is the editor who decided that Terry’s book idea for The Self-Aware Leader was worthy of being published. And, for that, he is our honored guest on this episode.

More importantly, he has two decades of experience in the Christian publishing world and will give us a “behind the scenes” look on how a publishing company decides what books to publish.

David the Senior Editor at NavPress, the publishing wing of The Navigators. He spent 17 years at InterVarsity Press and he is also the author of Deliver us From Me-Ville and Comic Book Character. He lives in Colorado Springs with his wife, Kara, who is a counselor. You can follow David on Twitter or connect with him via Facebook.
