Inspiration for Editors
Editors continuing to ply their trade in a world often unwilling to recognize its importance can use a dose of enthusiasm from a veteran. Be sure to catch this interview with New York editor Robert Gottlieb (80), who is not afraid to say he much prefers editing to writing and that he doesn’t want to be “creative.” If drudgery is getting you down, the words of an editor of famous authors so eager to see a revised manuscript he doesn’t care about dinner will bolster your confidence.
