Never outfoxed.
You did it. You wrote the thing. Whether it’s the roughest of drafts or a completed work, you’re ready to call in a professional for a review. You want someone who has edited countless essays, articles, scripts, novels, and law books. Someone who understands the hours of work you put in, the vision you have, the conventions you want to break. Someone willing to strike out all the extraneous whatever cluttering your work. An editor who isn’t afraid to make a page bleed red.
Embrace the ink.
You’re the author.
Maybe you want to write a novel comprised of six characters, all named “Scruffy.” And maybe they’re militaristic werehyenas from space. (Actually, that kind of works.) Whatever your authorial vision, know that even if we originally advise against it, you’re welcome to tell us something is here to stay. We’ll take that as our cue to work with you in making sure your idea is executed as well as possible—though it may break every convention we know.
