Copy Editors Quotes

“Great poets are great copy editors.”
― Dejan Stojanovic

“I always forget that, in the popular imagination, the copy editor is a bit of a witch, and it surprises me when someone is afraid of me....Relax, I want to say. I don't make a habit of correcting people in conversation or in print--unless it's for publication and they ask for it, or I'm getting paid.”
― Mary Norris, Between You & Me: Confessions of a Comma Queen
