AboutWho's a cranky editor? Are *you* a cranky editor?
What are your author horror stories? What advice would you give writers to save both your sanity and theirs?
Feel free to unleash on those bad, bad authors (and maybe praise the good ones)!
A few simple rules:
-- Please friends-lock and remove all personal identifiers off any cranks that might be considered libelous outside this community. This is for your protection, as well as that of the moderators. Publically-accessible posts that are potentially libelous will be deleted.
-- In deference to our users with slower connections, please put any photos behind an LJ-cut tag (click here to find out how).
-- No quiz results. Links to *on-topic* quizzes may be OK, at moderators' discretion.
-- Please note that the name of this community is![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif)
cranky_editors, not "advice to authors" or "how to steal our jobs when you grow up." (We did mention we were cranky, right?) Feel free to ask, but we are unlikely to answer (especially if there are editorial errors in your question, which happens far too frequently for our liking; you'd be surprised). You might also wish to ask at editorsupport.
-- On-topic promotion of other communities dealing with the editorial or publishing process are welcome, at moderators' discretion.
-- This community supports equal-opportunity crankiness from any editorial types -- production editors, copy editors, book editors, magazine editors, newspaper editors or other.
-- Posting of 'Help Wanted' ads OK, but please do so as discreetly as possible. Post an e-mail contact for any further off-community negotiations.
