Okay, in this publishing book that I've been reading it says that you need to have your priorities straight before you get published. For example, do you want to just get published no matter what gets sent out there? Do you want quality work? Do you want to be happy with your work before you send it out?
Stuff like that.
And we all know about editors, and how they change things. So what happens if you give them your work and you don't like what they edit? What if your work doesn't have that same feeling as the original draft you wrote for some reason? Are you supposed to feel like that? Have an awful feeling like they've ruined your whole story? Would it end up being okay? Are you supposed to get over it?
I really want to know ahead of time just in case something like this happens. I'd have to decide whether to just go with what they say or put my foot down and just deny them. Or perhaps, I should give them limits on what I want them to edit?
Compromise? I should only edit what I feel is good for my story right? My story should have my voice, but what do you do if someone tells you that they want it otherwise?
