Today, his Promethea series continues to stretch the envelope of what's possible in the comic book medium. But with Kurt Busiek, Warren Ellis, Grant Morrison, and J.M. DeMatteis all busy writing, Alan has a run for his money in making the "ABC" imprint live up to its title. (Neil Gaiman may throw his hat back into the ring, someday, too!)

Magazine editors are so prominent, that everyone knows who they are. But book editors also do a very important job (as anyone who looks at the unedited Heinlein can see). Book editors from a number of the major book lines talk about the role of the book editor, what they bring to the table, and what their role will be in the future.

There's always the temptation to keep re- , writing chapter 1 until it's perfect before you go on to chapter 2. That way lies madness. How much should you re-write before you're done. Revising can introduce inconsistencies, which later editing should remove. Some of these things may be picked up by a copy editor if you sell/have sold the book, but the better it is when you turn it in, the more chance of it being bought (by the publisher if it's uncommisioned, by the readers if it's being published). Cecilia Dart-Thornton, Scott Edelman, Ellen Key Harris-Braun, Janna Silverstein Sun,15.00,CC201B ,J. R. R. Tolkien and the Twentieth Century , J. R. R. Tolkien looked back to earlier times, yet his great creation is , also profoundly a part of the twentieth century. Moreover, Tolkien's works stand as major influences on other writers. Fantasy changed with Tolkien. And while some maintream critics downplay his place in literature, his works have spoken to millions -- surely a sign that they are indeed important. Jeffrey A.
