I believe that all brands will become storytellers, editors and publishers, all stores will become magazines, and all media companies will become stores. There will be too many of all of them. The strongest ones, the ones who offer the best customer experience, will survive.
One of the things I like about publishing is that you don't promote the editor - you promote the book and the author.
Editors always amputate the brain first and preserve a good-looking corpse.
Anyone who can not write should.
Listen carefully to first criticisms made of your work. Note just what it is about your work that critics don't like - then cultivate it. That's the only part of your work that's individual and worth keeping.
Being an editor doesn't make you a better writer - or vice versa. The worst thing any editor can do is be in competition with his writer.
An editor is bound to avoid the meshes of the law, which are always infinitely more costly to companies, or things, or institutions, than they are to individuals.
When I write a novel, every word is mine. I welcome suggestions from my editor, but in the end, I make all the final decisions.
Every day is still exciting. I have like a very good system worked out with my editor. Some directors are in there every day, sitting there in the room with the editor. I lose perspective incredibly quickly, and so what I do is I watch. . . I come in the room and give very specific notes and then I go back to my house or in my office and I watch the dailies.
John Loengard, the picture editor at Life, always used to tell me, ”If you want something to look interesting, don’t light all of it.
About 90 percent of the pieces in my home are vintage, and I'm a ruthless editor. I only live with things that I love. There is not one thing in my home that doesn't have meaning to me.
I personally made lots of mistakes during my 10-12 years as a newspaper editor. Some of which I felt were big mistakes I have tried to address.
Show me a contented newspaper editor and I will show you a bad newspaper.
Feeling unsure and lost is part of your path. Don't avoid it. See what those feelings are showing you and use it.
I do a lot of brainstorming with my editors.
We are not only a civilization of amateur photographers; we are amateur curators, editors, and publishers.
I've always wanted editors that actually edited my poems.
While many of the established media make losses or go bankrupt, WikiLeaks has survived a major conflict with a superpower, including an unlawful economic blockade by its banks and credit card companies and the detention of its editor. We have no debts. We have not had to fire staff. We have never lost a court case related to our publishing. We have never been forced to censor. Adversity has hardened us.
I wrote an article on a new Porsche for 'Automobile Magazine. ' I knew the editor, and she asked me to write this article. So I'm more proud of that than anything.
If teachers and grammar school editors find my jawbreaker sentences shatter their mushmilk teeth, let them eat stale cake dunked in weak tea of their own ungodly manufacture.
