Stronger than the Sum of its Parts: The Author-Editor Relationship
Good editors do more than copyedit. They point out where characters or story could be improved. Writers do more than write. They work with editors to improve the work. Our panelists discuss the editor-author relationship, how it works best, and some how to avoid its pitfalls.
