Bio
Clifford Wright
I have worked with many editors while publishing 16 books with publishers such as Simon & Schuster, William Morrow, Little Brown and John Wiley. I can say, unreservedly, that the most brilliant and talented editor I ever worked with was Pam Hoenig. She represents the highest quality one can find in the editorial and publishing world. Whether it’s conceiving the structural overhaul of an entire book or massaging a clarification to make a paragraph flow, Pam Hoenig is the best there is. She is easy to work with and when she communicates with an author she understands the author-editor relationship with all its nuances and how the ultimate goal is a better manuscript, in fact, the best possible manuscript.

Pam Hoenig was a pleasure to work with at Stackpole Books. She is a hard working and self-motivated editor. She always put her clients, her authors at Stackpole, first and developed those relationships admirably.
