A bad editor, or one who simply doesn't 'get' your story, is a real detriment, though. This only happened to me once, and I regret going along with her suggestions because I look at that book now and see that the 'voice' was totally lost. I learned from that that editing can be subjective - we should take the editor's comments very seriously but not be afraid to argue the point- choosing our battles wisely, of course!glenyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01722150642061311226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-57834247947384770682012-02-10T15:05:46.580-05:002012-02-10T15:05:46.580-05:00A good editor helps a story shine.
