Most writers adore their editors, and I'm no exception.
Some editors are failed writers, but so are most writers.
If you look at any list of great modern writers such as Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, and F. Scott Fitzgerald, you'll notice two things about them: 1. They all had editors. 2. They are all dead. Thus we can draw the scientific conclusion that editors are fatal.
There is always a certain leap of faith that editors have made with their nonfiction writers. If the trust is broken, things can get very embarrassing for the writers and the publisher.
One should fight like the devil the temptation to think well of editors. They are all, without exception - at least some of the time, incompetent or crazy.
I have some friends, most of them are writers or editors, whose recommendations I trust blindly. There are some critics, too, whom I trust, but not many.
Does advertising corrupt editors? Yes it does, but fewer editors than you may suppose... the vast majority of editors are incorruptible.
I am addicted to 'Vogue' magazines, be they French, British - I adore, adore, adore.
United with the angels and saints of the heavenly Church, let us adore the most Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist. Prostrate, we adore this great mystery that contains God's new and definitive covenant with humankind in Christ.
You can write the best book you can, and that might still not be enough. Appeal isn't something that most writers can't strive for or identify. It's something even the best agents and editors can't always identify.
There are many more want-to-be writers out there than good editors.
I wonder if these editors, why they're not writers sometimes, because they know so much about writing.
Let's not pretend there isn't a huge industry driven by the choices made by editors and writers who decide what a story is.
What I adore is supreme professionalism. I’m bored by writers who can write only when it’s raining.
Without writers, none of the entertainment would exist. It starts with writers. Writers are the most important piece of the entire puzzle.
I would never butt heads with Rob Zombie. I don't know anybody that's in acting that ever butted heads with Rob Zombie. I adore Rob. I adore him. I adore working with him. I adore knowing him. I'm happy to consider myself a friend and someone who he hires. I just think he's great.
I adore Toni Morrison. I think we would all be better writers if we read more of her.
