Do You Really Need an Editor ?

Writer are going electronic directly online, bypassing the editorial process in a traditional publishing setting.  “Why not? There is no editing anymore.” Not only is that not true, but it certainly didn’t understand the complex role of the editor in a publishing house.

True, with the economies of today, there is so much for the editor to do and the workload is so great, that in some cases, writers might get short changed. But in general, the editor today is working very hard, late at night and on the weekends, trying to get the best possible book from the writer.  And I am happy to say that as many as there are who complain, there are just as many who acknowledge the good work that editors can and do for a writer.  Huffington Post
