Editors Quotes

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 Picture Quote #1

The resistance to my work, and to my way of writing, has been there from the beginning. The first things I wrote were these short short stories collected in At the Bottom of the River, and at least three of them are one sentence long.

Art editors and critics - people like me - have become a courtier class Picture Quote #1

Authors can get an attitude of us-against-them when it comes to publishers, but learning how authors and editors can work together taught me to look at my work in a different way and to make that work as solid as possible before it ever goes to the publisher Picture Quote #1

I had a hard time publishing my books in the beginning of my career, because editors were afraid what people would think of THEM, personally, if their name was associated with me Picture Quote #1

Self-publishing worked for me. Being able to put your work in print, even if it’s a tiny print-on-demand print run of a dozen or so copies, shows publishers and editors a completed piece of work and that you can follow through on a project Picture Quote #1

The paradox of being in an industry where other people are usually the gatekeepers: publishers, editors - there are a lot of barriers to having control over your career. But coming out of hip-hop, the mindset was always to create your own Picture Quote #1

It’s hard selling books in general: companies are merging, editors being laid off, bricks-and-mortar bookstores closing, large chain bookstores squeezing out independents, and online retailers squeezing out chain bookstores Picture Quote #1

To the small group of editors and designers who would launch Wired in January 1993, technology represented the future’s best hope; but to the media, the tech boom was yesterday’s story Picture Quote #1

I believe I’m a better writer now than I was when I started. I’m grateful that I had good guidance because you don’t make it in this business without good editors and a lot of support from your publishers Picture Quote #1

Newspapers and their editors have to become as accountable as the rest of us - they are not ‘a special case,’ and they have only themselves to blame for having lost the argument for ‘exceptionalism’ - and with it the right to ‘self-regulation.’ Picture Quote #1

Editors are more concerned with the first chapters of a book; that’s what everyone reads first in the bookstore or in the online sample Picture Quote #1

I don’t think anybody reads a book of poetry front to back. Editors and reviewers only. I don’t think anybody else does Picture Quote #1

On a book like ‘X-Men,’ you have to stay true to the established fiction, working with editors to ensure continuity, sometimes across multiple titles Picture Quote #1

With ‘California,’ editors were reading it, and fast, and others were emailing my agent to request it. Ultimately, there were a few editors interested in the book, and it sold at auction about two weeks after the submission process started. I couldn’t believe it! Picture Quote #1

The poems were the only thing I wrote that was not for everyone else. Then my editors at Penguin, who were also friends and had seen several of them, aggressively urged me to do a book. Editors can be aggressive, especially after drinks. That’s how ‘Beyond This Dark House’ appeared Picture Quote #1

Book-publishing is all about politics. Agents, editors, which books will be puffed, which ignored, etc Picture Quote #1
