"The successful editor is one who is constantly finding newwriters, nurturing their talents, and publishing them with critical and financial success."

Previous Quote

If you would like to write better than everybody else, you have to want to write better than everybody else. You must take an obsessive pride in the smallest details of your craft. And you must be willing to defend what you've written against the various middlemen - editors, agents and publishers - whose sights may be different from yours, whose standards not so high.
