“All of us who write need a good editor. - Sharon Langevin Crawford”
“the Real-World was a sprawling mess of a book in need of a good editor.”
“An editor is a person who knows more about writing than writers do but who has escaped the terrible desire to write.”
“There are plenty of bad editors who try to impose their own vision on a book. (…)A good novel editor is invisible.”
“Dear Editor: It's a damn good story. If you have any comments, write them on the back of a check. ”
“I'm an unabashed elitist. Everyone needs a good editor, and there is peril in worshiping amateurism and the unedited in science, art, and journalism.”
