"Editing should be, especially in the case of old writers, a counseling
rather than a collaborating task. The tendency of the writer-editor to
collaborate is natural, but he should say to himself, 'How can I help
this writer to say it better in his own style? ' and avoid 'How can I
show him how I would write it, if it were my piece?' "- James Thurber
2. "The best advice on writing was given to me by my first editor, Michael Korda, of Simon and Schuster, while writing my first book. 'Finish your first draft and then we'll talk,' he said. It took me A long time to realize how good the advice was. Even if you write it wrong, write and finish your first draft. Only then, when you have a flawed whole, do you know what you have to fix. " - Dominick Dunne
3. "Editing might be a bloody trade, but knives aren't the exclusive property of butchers. Surgeons use them too." - Blake Morrison
4. "The main thing I try to do is write as clearly as I can. I rewrite a good deal to make it clear." - E.B. White
5. "I'm all for the scissors. I believe more in the scissors than I do in the pencil." - Truman Capote
6. "You write to communicate to the hearts and minds of others what's burning inside you, and we edit to let the fire show through the smoke." - Arthur Plotnik
7. "No author dislikes to be edited as much as he dislikes not to be published." - J. Russell Lynes

"I would write a book, or a short story, at least three times — once to
understand it, the second time to improve the prose, and a third to
compel it to say what it still must say. Somewhere I put it This way:
first drafts are for learning what one's fiction wants him to say.
Revision works with that knowledge to enlarge and enhance an idea, to
reform it. Revision is one of the exquisite pleasures of writing. " -
Bernard Malamud
