RE: Can an Editor Get Too "Creative"—A Writer's Quandary

in #esteem8 years ago

I love love love this- but I find collaborations like this inspiring, and have never had my work published or reviewed by a professional editor. I guess the real question is, do you give the editor co-writing credit for doing this? Or just editing credit?

Sort:  

Grinning broadly

You’re just the person I hoped to hear from on this.

Books, for example, are long term relationships & I think a certain affinity between author & editor is quite important.

Whereas, magazine/online publication is a comparatively brief affair & generally dictated by whimsical tastes.

In this case, had I agreed to publish, I might have wished to include a short note explaining that this was a kind of creative collaboration (something this editor did not request).

Different folks... 😀
