‘A Great Teacher Is A Gift. A Great Line Editor Is A Miracle.’

WORDS Posted: February 8, 2019 7:35 am

“Instead of thinking about line editing as a forgotten art, one callously consumed by the book business, we should consider it a privilege — a gift — enjoyed by some writers, but not most. … [It] is the ultimate union of writer and editor; the line-edit means we cede control, and the pen, to someone else. It is a gift of trust, and it must go both ways.” — Literary Hub
