Episode 66: Andy Ward
Andy Ward, a former editor at Esquire and GQ, is the editorial director of nonfiction at Random House.\n\n"How you gain that trust is a hard thing to quantify. The way I try do it is by caring. If you don't care about every word and every sentence in the piece, writers pick up on that. ... Ultimately, it's their book or their magazine article. Their name is on it, not mine. I always try to keep that in mind."\n\nThanks to this week's sponsors: TinyLetter and EA SPORTS FIFA 14.\n\nShow notes:\n@AndyWard15\nAndy Ward Picks His Favorite Articles\n[31:00] "The Perfect Fire" (Sean Flynn \u2022 Esquire \u2022 Jul 2000)\n[33:00] "He Came from Outer Space" (Chris Jones \u2022 Esquire \u2022 Oct 2002)\n[40:45] Jim Nelson's Memo to GQ staffers when Ward left\n[42:30] "The Book of Me" (Richard Powers \u2022 GQ \u2022 Oct 2008)\nLearn more about your ad choices.
