Jackie as Editor

History remembers Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis as the consummate first lady, the nation's tragic widow, the tycoon's wife, and, of course, the quintessential embodiment of elegance. Her biographers, however, tend to skip over an equally important stage in her life: her almost two-decade-long career as a book editor, publishing authors as diverse as Diana Vreeland, Louis Auchincloss, George Plimpton, Dorothy West, Naguib Mahfouz, and even Michael Jackson.

Step beyond the iconic public image and discover Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis as few knew her—an insightful, passionate, and influential book editor. Jackie as Editor offers an intimate look at her decades-long career in publishing, revealing how her keen eye, literary sensibility, and quiet determination shaped some of the era’s most notable works.

Engaging, elegant, and full of behind-the-scenes stories, this book is perfect for readers who admire Jackie or love the world of literature. Celebrate the legacy of a woman who helped bring great stories to life. Written by Greg Lawrence. Paperback; 352 pages.
