Not only does the editor know the publication, but they have the impartial view of the piece of writing that allows them to have a better grasp on it than the one who wrote it.<BR/><BR/>SpeckJeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15060752369115661100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36000549.post-14164184950520463842007-05-20T21:24:00.000-05:002007-05-20T21:24:00.000-05:00Having worked with two great editors for my articl...Having worked with two great editors for my articles, I can tell you how helpful it is to have one. <BR/><BR/>My most recent editor, Cheryl Wright of Writer2Writer, caught something in the last article I submitted that allowed me to save face. I was writing about procrastination, and some of the articles I read claimed that perfectionists usually turn in less than perfect work (perfectionism often leads to procrastination). So, I mentioned something similiar in my article and Cheryl asked me where I got it from. I explained, and we decided the article would be better without it. After all, I don't like backlash any more than any other writer, and making some unsubstantiated claim would certainly mean backlash.<BR/><BR/>Most times, I take my editor's suggestions. They make my articles stronger and clearer. And I figure, my flexibility might just make me a regular contributor for markets who don't have the time and patience to deal with writers who will hassle over even the slighest changes.<BR/><BR/>Great post, Lori.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03470069911115912344noreply@blogger.com
