Rules for Not Making Editors Hate You (from Maud) An editor is “stalked” by an unsolicited author and decides to offer some tips for not looking like an idiot.
1) Never show up in person at a publishing company. Ever. Not unless a real person (and not an imaginary person in your head) has specifically made a date with you and asked you to come in for a meeting. Even if you are just well-meaning and happen to be in the neighborhood to drop something off, seeing an editor will make that editor feel incredibly awkward and more likely to hate you and your project. We lead crazed, frazzled existences and we don’t like having to meet with people we are not expecting. Ever. None of us.
