Editors may think of themselves as dignified headwaiters in a well-run restaurant but more often [they] operate a snack bar . . . and expect you to be grateful that at least they got the food to the table warm.
Thomas B. Griffith
Image
Editors always amputate the brain first and preserve a good-looking corpse.
Robert Anton Wilson
Image
Editors are licensed to be curious.
William Zinsser

Editors of conservative magazines aren't out trying to raise money. The money is there the cash reserves are in the bank.
David Brock
Image
Editors of open anthologies actively seek submissions from all comers, established and unknown. They are willing to read whatever the tide washes up at their feet.
Lynn Abbey
Image
Editors seek out the first novels with the seductiveness of Don Juans the pleasure of discovery is one of the obvious reasons.
William Targ
Image
Most writers adore their editors, and I'm no exception.
Linda Sue Park

I depend on good editors and a good director.

You can go back and try to generalize, but then you end up saying things that all editors say about everything that ever gets published. Something about voice, about urgency, about actually having a story to tell.
Lorin Stein

Write every day never give up it's supposed to be difficult try to find some pleasure and reward in the act of writing, because you can't look for praise from editors, readers, or critics. In other words, tips that are much easier to give than to take.

I do have a small collection of traditional SF ideas which I've never been able to sell. I'm known as a fantasy writer and neither my agent nor my editors want to risk my brand by jumping genre.
Lynn Abbey

Successful model? That's a myth. The year I modeled was the most painful year of my life. Editors would always talk to you in the third person as though you were merely a piece of merchandise.
Jessica Lange

Anyone who thinks designers don't talk to editors, and editors don't talk to stores doesn't know what's happening...It's called crossover, sampling all references in music, art and fashion.
Marc Jacobs
Image
Great editors do not discover nor produce great authors great authors create and produce great publishers.
John Farrar
Image
Only kings, presidents, editors, and people with tapeworms have the right to use the editorial 'we.'
Mark Twain

All the other editors at DC never gave me a moment's time. They would take the thing and give me a check and say, 'I'll see you in two weeks.' They never gave any kind of encouragement or information. They were very competitive with each other. They didn't want to teach an artist and then lose him to some other editor.
John Romita, Sr.
Image
The best comics editors have the smallest egos. The worst ones feel like they have to justify their salaries by making changes just so they can leave their fingerprints. Every creative medium has those guys, and they're all loathsome.
Mark Waid
Image
Writers take words seriously-perha ps the last professional class that does-and they struggle to steer their own through the crosswinds of meddling editors and careless typesetters and obtuse and malevolent reviewers into the lap of the ideal reader.
John Updike
Image
I've got a folder full of rejection slips that I keep. Know why? Because those same editors are now calling my agent hoping I'll write a book or novella for them. Things change. A rejection slip today might mean a frantic call to your agent in six months.
MaryJanice Davidson
Image
The last thing reporters and editors want to be told is what to do and how to write. They don't want to be some politically correct, Orwellian, kind of like you're telling me how to write about...?
Jose Antonio Vargas
Image
I've heard a lot of editors and agents say, If the book is good, it will get published. I totally disagree with that.
Micah Perks
Image
The pressure for conformity is enormous. I have experienced it in editors’ rejection of submitted papers, based on venomous criticism of anonymous referees. The replacement of impartial reviewing by censorship will be the death of science.
Julian Schwinger
Image
I do feel that I'm talking to someone who's in a totally different place from where I was when I started modeling. I was fortunate enough to have the wonderful designers and amazing photographers around me, and editors that I knew, and if I wanted to ask a question, I asked them. So that gap has broadened a bit.
Naomi Campbell

The way I work is that I never let people do an assembly. I don't like it because it shapes the film in a way that I can't really control. To me, editing is making the film and it's a huge process and editors are under-rated.
