Sara Nelson
Sara Nelson is an American publishing industry figure who is an editor and book reviewer and consultant〔 and columnist,〔 and is currently the editorial director at Amazon.com. Nelson is notable for having been editor in chief at the book industry's chief trade publication ''Publishers Weekly'' from 2005–2009 during a time of wrenching restructuring and industry downsizing. After that, she was book editor at Oprah's ''O Magazine''. Her book ''So Many Books, So Little Time'' was published in 2003. Her views have been widely reported in numerous publications such as ''The New York Times'', ''Wall Street Journal'', and ''USA Today'', and she has appeared on television broadcasts including CBS's ''The Early Show''. She has written for the ''Wall Street Journal'' and the ''Huffington Post'' about publishing industry trends and has been described as a "lively presence within the book publishing industry."〔 She is an extensive reader and has been described as a "lover of books."〔
==Beginnings==
Nelson attended Phillips Academy in Andover and graduated in 1974. She wrote about books and publishing at the ''New York Post'', the ''New York Observer'', ''Glamour'' magazine, and held editorial positions at ''Self'', ''Inside.com'', and ''Book Publishing Report''. Nelson married and had a child and is a fierce advocate for respect for working mothers. Women struggled with ways to juggle careers and families, and stay-at-home moms and working mothers jostled over women's roles in the home, sometimes termed in the media as the Mommy Wars. Nelson wrote:
Nelson, based on a New Year's plan, embarked on an ambitious project to read one book each week and write about it, and the effort morphed into a book entitled ''So Many Books, So Little Time: A Year of Passionate Reading'' which was published by Putnam in 2003. While her initial book–a–week plan fell apart almost immediately, according to ''New York Times'' book reviewer Ihsan Taylor, the effort was fruitful since the book was seen as a commentary on the "nature of reading itself." Nelson's future employer, Publishers Weekly, reported that her book revealed her "infectious enthusiasm for literature in general." Writer Augusten Burroughs said Nelson's book was a "smart, witty, utterly original memoir about how every book becomes a part of us."
Nelson has been a consistent heavy reader throughout her life, and at one point, in a YouTube interview, said that she typically reads about 50 books cover–to–cover per year regardless of her self-imposed commitment. She will only write about a book after she's read it completely, according to Nelson in the interview. Further, she reads portions of many books which are sent to her or recommended by others, sometimes only the first ten pages. She favors fiction over non-fiction generally, occasionally reading classics overlooked during her college years, and some non-fiction works such as David McCullough's treatment of American president John Adams.〔
