on Writers in the Storm:
I hear the stories all the time: authors jaded by a traumatic experience with an editor and editors frustrated by authors who won’t listen to them. The authors lose confidence in themselves or, worse, abandon the desire to pursue their writing dreams. The editors lose work and reputation. Isn’t there a better way? Aren’t there editor–author relationships where both get what they want?
If you are an author, how do you get this kind of relationship? If you are an editor, how do you get it?
