I think editors have to come out of a certain kind of community.

One should fight like the devil the temptation to think well of editors. They are all, without exception - at least some of the time, incompetent or crazy.

There are many more want-to-be writers out there than good editors.

Writers have to put up with this editor thing; it is ageless and eternal and wrong.

Truth is, every writer has to be a good editor, and you have to edit yourself. It's a skill every writer has to acquire.

In a world where everyone is a publisher, no one is an editor. And that is the danger that we face today.

With an audience it's now, there are no editors around. It's just me and the audience and it's what I like best.

An editor is an accomplice, looking in from the outside. That objective view is essential. We don't write in a vacuum, and we don't publish in a vacuum.

I have great editors, and I always have. Somehow, great editors ask the right questions or pose things to you that get you to write better. It's a dance between you, your characters, and your editor.

People need to be edited; life needs to be edited. I need to be edited.
