    An editor once told me, "Don't worry, I won't let you outside with your underwear showing." I've never forgotten it and have used it as a guidepost for working relationships ever since.

    Find a good editor who won’t let you destroy your career with a terrible essay that offends an entire religion. You deserve better. All writers deserve editors who care about them and their careers.

    I’ve been taking authors to schools for over a decade and the first time one climbs the rope I have to be out of town?! I was sorry to miss for many reasons but this takes the cake.

    A chorus of local news reporters reading, word-for-word, from the same Sinclair script to attack the media and defend the President. This is not what an independent media looks like.
