A mentor, a 'teacher,' is like an editor. I absolutely value my editor, who is my teacher.
Which editor? I can't think of one editor I worked with as an editor. The various companies did have editors but we always acted as our own editor, so the question has no answer.
An editor who is a mentor, advisor, and psychiatrist. Don't kid yourself-a good editor will make your book better.
Eisenstein was a good editor. I was trained as a film editor, and I've no doubt that the editor is key to a film.
But for me, being an editor I've been an editor of all kinds of books being an editor of poetry has been the way in which I could give a crucial part of my time to what I love most.
I've been a teacher at the college level, in composition mostly, and I've been an editor on magazines.
A poor teacher complains, an average teacher explains, a good teacher teaches, a great teacher inspires.
The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.
I wrote a query letter to an editor - a friend of a friend. The editor called me an idiot, told me never to contact an editor directly, and then recommended three literary agents he had worked with before. Laurie Fox was one of them, and I've never looked back.
The difference in a teacher and a mentor is that a mentor is interested in our soul.
I always warn aspiring reporters to observe three basic rules: 1. Never trust an editor. 2. Never trust an editor. 3. Never trust an editor.
The teacher will be moving through thousands of states of mind and sometimes beyond mind. While you are with the teacher, be sensitive to that. Without being flaky and devotional, develop respect for the teacher, just as the teacher respects you.
An Editor becomes kind of your mother. You expect love and encouragement from an Editor.
Of course a magazine is shaped by its editor, and each editor is different.
I was the editor of the News of the World; I was the editor of the Sun and chief executive.
One time, the teacher was the storehouse of knowledge. That will no longer be so. So what would a teacher do? A very good teacher will play the role of augmenter. Also, the teacher will be located anywhere and helping students.
I wanted to be my own editor, and by 'editor,' I mean unedited-or.
