Celeste Ng’s novel, Everything I Never Told You, was recently named by Amazon as the book of the year. Amazon’s editorial team reviewed 480 fiction and non-fiction books before coming up with a top 10. Ng sat down with Hermione Hoby for the Guardian to talk about about writing, race, and Amazon:
“It’s hard to feel like the things Amazon was doing were not going to harm the industry,” she says. “Writers, most of them, don’t have a lot of resources. I know many people have reasonable questions about how Amazon operates. But the editorial staff, I think, are people who just really love books and want to promote them. They’re not the people setting company policy.”
