I have an editor in my head, that's why I can't read Harry Potter, because Rowling is such a lousy writer.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Most writers adore their editors, and I'm no exception.
In the world of book writing, an author really gets to have control over what he or she writes, which is why it is very satisfying. With the help of a great compatible editor, you really have something in the end you can call your own.
I have nothing but praise for J. K. Rowling. Her contribution - apart from the books themselves, obviously - is showing writers how to interact with the 21st Century.
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.
I'm a Harry Potter fan.
I love 'Harry Potter' and JK Rowling - don't laugh at me!
When I read 'Fantastic Beasts,' the world that J. K. Rowling has created is so wonderful.
Rowling is a luminous storyteller. I love her sense of humor and the intricate wizarding world she built around Hogwarts. I think all writers aspire to be like her, to capture readers like she does. But I didn't think about 'Harry Potter' when I wrote 'The Bone Season.'
I feel sorry for people who have to edit me. Which is why book writing is by far the most enjoyable. Really the only thing it's based on is whether it's good or not. No book editor, in my experience, is getting a manuscript and try to rewrite it.
I have spent many, many hours reading J.K. Rowling's work. I am a known 'Harry Potter' fan.
