What Every Writer Needs to Know About Editors

Is your editor a friend, a partner, or an adversary? Why do so many editors not do what they say they’ll do — or do it much later than they promised?

How can you get editors’ attention in the first place? Most writers know the importance of having good working relationships with editors, but may not know how to go about establishing them.

In this interview, conducted by Paulette Warren, Scott explores writers’ most common misunderstandings about editors and provides advice to help make the most of the writer/editor relationship.
