An Editor's Notes on Writing and Writers

This is a book about writers and working with them. Editing is what I wanted to write about. But it is also about friends, some of them now dead, so it is about that, too. What follows is not strictly chronological. It bounces around a little. So did I.

—Terry McDonell
