What do editors expect from the writers they work with?
* Be open to suggestions. The final product is yours, but don’t waste your money on editing if you’re too attached to your draft and will override all edits. * Stay available. Let your editor know how to reach you by providing several means of contact. * Let your editor work. Don’t call or e-mail each day to check on progress. * Send your work to your editor at the agreed-upon time. If you know you won’t be ready by your appointment date, let your editor know well ahead of the start date. * Remember that this is a professional arrangement.
