In these litigious times, if you're a beginner, it's becoming harder and harder to get your work to the people who might actually be able to hire you.
From Len Wein
It all depends on which side of the desk you're sitting on.
It's all about who's where on the food chain. When I'm the story editor, I expect my writers to follow my vision. When I'm working for another editor, I'm obliged to follow their vision.
Lord of the Rings, I think, is far and away the most brilliantly done stuff.
People who were more concerned with themselves and looking good to their readers then they were with the characters sacrificed a series for the sake of a story.
Sometimes you're not even sure which of your stories were failures. There are things I've written that I thought were complete catastrophes when I finished with them that have gone on to generate some of my most positive feedback.
