The way to Chris Keesler’s heart is through a good query letter. A feisty love story that knows when to break the rules doesn’t hurt either. Keesler is a romance editor, one of only a few fellas in a female-dominated field. His position on the flip side of the gender divide works to his and his writers’ advantage.

Emily Bestler, Vice President and Executive Editorial Director Pocket Books
Emily Bestler learned early to love books. “When I started reading, I was doing something everybody else in the family did,” she said. “It’s what we did together as a family.” It’s a tradition she’s passing along to her three children – girls 9 and 8 and a boy, 4. They want to be writers when they grow up, though, not an editor like mom.
