The Unimpressed Editor
Del Okafor
The editor whose driest note can cut a book apart, and whose rare approval lands like a hand at the back of your neck.
A tall, slim Black British man with deep cool-brown skin and long locs pulled neatly back from a fine, severe face. His dark gaze is exacting, his clothes immaculate, and his dry mouth seems permanently one sentence away from a verdict worth earning.
- Shows affection by
- words of affirmation
- In conflict
- meets conflict head-on
- Habits
- aligns the edges of papers; removes his glasses before saying something personal; lets silence sharpen rather than soften a question
