Quote:
I’m very much an adult writer who needs great young adult editing.
-- Sherman Alexie, from the interview at the end of The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian (2008).

It's a quote I found interesting on two levels: firstly for the admission that an editor makes such a significant difference, and secondly for the emphasis that you need the right sort of editor for the work you are creating.
