This session will explore core issues of the editorial task, including finding the balance between necessary edits and respecting and maintaining the author’s voice. How can the editor be authoritative and professional, yet at the same time humble and with a servant’s heart, content to remain in the background?

To that end, she acquires and edits both fiction and nonfiction.

Lydia holds degrees from Syracuse University and Westminster Theological Seminary.
