Join us in November when we talk to Freelance Editor Catherine Luttinger. DRS member Miki Reilly-Howe will lead a Q&A, exploring Catherine’s experience in the publishing industry.

Catherine Luttinger

As the child of a family of writers, it’s no wonder Catherine Luttinger has worked in and around publishing for over twenty-five years. Editing wasn’t something she learned; it was a skill delivered by osmosis throughout her childhood.

Catherine spent the last twenty years at The Darhansoff & Verrill Literary Agency, as both a literary agent and an in-house editor. During that time, she had the opportunity to work with a spectrum of talented writers. She’s also worked as an editor at Scribner.

Today, Catherine works as a freelance editor, working with an authors in an intuitive, personal and deeply empathetic process. Her sharp ear for dialogue and character development, combined with her publishing savvy and ability to provide clear, actionable feedback make for a potent partnership. Thrillers, Mysteries, Fantasy and Memoir are her areas of expertise. Though she finds that her favorite books are the ones she’s currently working on.

She lives near Woodstock, in upstate New York, with her husband, twin boys, a dog, two cats, one snake and three rats.
