Just gonna go ahead and edit this tweet: "Don't be overly defensive and push back against every single change an editor makes as if your writing is perfect and you can do no wrong. But absolutely do push back when an edit changes the meaning or tone in a way you don't like!"https://twitter.com/CaptainPlanetOW/status/1225469104338821120 …
argue with your editor over minor details
they are better than you at writing, it's their job to be, that's why they're an editor
Also, editors who think they're "better than you at writing" are generally terrible editors—they force every writer's voice into the same mold. They try to make you sound like them. A good editor should help you push your writing so that it's the best version of *your* voice.
In short, this guy sounds like a herb. Writers and editors are allies, editors are supposed to help writers get better. When it becomes an adversarial process with both parties trying to prove that they're "better," everyone has already lost.
Yes this! I always take even edits I don’t LOVE if I don’t mind them in order to really advocate for the things I care about. And omg good editors are the best — and it’s a tots different skill set from writing (although it helps writing, and writing helps editors I think too)
Thank you for this - for as opinionated as I am, I’m bizarrely sheepish about pushback with editors.
And the best editors are those who help develop your voice by inspiring you to flourish in your identity, supporting growth and maturity.
The best editors respect writers for our skills. Some sadly incapable of this, bullies and competitive. And writers share intel on them.
