Writing Excuses Episode 29: Talking Publishing with Lou Anders
from http://www.writingexcuses.com/2008/08/24/writing-excuses-episode-29-talking-publishing-with-lou-anders/
Another live from WorldCon podcast, with Dan and Howard slightly confused about who they are. But their guest is definitely Lou Anders, editorial director at Pyr books.
Key points: once the editor decides to acquire a book, they get permission from the Dark Masters, and then start being the advocate for the book in shepherding it through the publication process. The author at this point is mostly just waiting -- or hopefully writing the next book.
( small stuff )
Final words? do you encourage or discourage writers?

- Both. Be brilliant -- it's not enough to just be good.
