While I don't write fiction, my experience with editors of scientific journals has been much, much worse. I had one copy editor refuse to publish my article due to some language issues. While I initially fought it, after three months of being in publicaiton limbo finally convinced me to capitulate. I then got a nasty letter from the editor and chief blaming me for inflexibility. It was not a pleasant experience.
Haha, I saw this yesterday too and had to send it to my wife (she's currently an English major and hopes to be an editor at some point). Hilarious!
ReplyDeleteMy wife and I are committed reader and we own two cats. So I had to send this picture now to my wife as a weekend present.
