Great interview homey.
I loved the humorous story about the editor meeting with the writer. I think that one was probably funnier to editors than writers, though LOL.
Thanks, Moses! And we didn’t even do those stories justice. I know when talking with Eric that the important thing is that editor/writer relationship is like a marriage and not every person will be a good fit for the other. I’ll be sure to introduce you to Eric at WFC.
