So. I'm writing this story, and it requires me to know things, like exactly how much control an editor has over a book. Anyone happen to know?

I can tell you how much control my editor has over my books. Would that help?

It varies with the publishing house, and depends very much on the fame and earning power of the writer.

That would help me SO MUCH! Because I really have, like. NO idea at all.

Send me your questions, and I will whine at you about the editing process at length. It will be therapeutic for me, and informative for you.

Also, my partner is a mid-list author, and I know a lot of other writers, some of them NY Times bestsellers, so I can answer questions right across the spectrum, from humble romance hack to superstar.
