You are right that artists/write...Dear Will Terry,<br /><br />You are right that artists/writers have to compromise with editors. I have been on both sides of this because I am a published writer, a former editor of the literary magazine Primavera, and also a college professor teaching composition and creative writing. As an editor and professor, I find some writers too prickly to deal with constructive criticism. However, as a writer, I find some editors too bossy and too intrusive when they ask for overly specific revisions, rather than letting the writer or artist make changes within his or her aesthetic. <br /><br />Best wishes for the spring!<br /><br />Janet Heller<br />Author of the award-winning book for kids about bullying, How the Moon Regained Her Shape (Sylvan Dell, hardback--2006, paperback--2007, e-book, audio, and Spanish edition--2008, 3rd paperback edition and iPad app--2012) <br />Website is http://www.redroom.com/author/janet-ruth-heller Janet Hellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05948999918568830436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558633592606222881.post-27987462687685859472013-03-20T10:36:01.556-06:002013-03-20T10:36:01.556-06:00Wonderful post:)Wonderful post:)theartofpurohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12540540687204124967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558633592606222881.post-7927648311928039022013-03-16T07:38:16.513-06:002013-03-16T07:38:16.513-06:00Awesome Will, I can't wait to see this when it...Awesome Will, I can't wait to see this when it comes out. k.h.whitakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04987337506335691981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558633592606222881.post-45698860693365701662013-03-15T14:58:34.828-06:002013-03-15T14:58:34.828-06:00This such helpful advice, as I am finishing up the...This such helpful advice, as I am finishing up the illustrations for my first book!
