Their site targets the SFWA and AW watchdogs who report on scam agents, fake publishing companies, and other cons and con artists that defraud writers. This is just more of the same.<br /><br />I have at times volunteered to be one of those watchdogs. I did it because there's so much bad information about publishing floating around on the internet, and because newbie writers are so vulnerable to scams. <br /><br />You're free to speculate about what line of work many of RA's founders are or have been engaged in.<br /><br />I have never been fired by Tor. <br /><br />The RA haters know exactly zero about my authors, the books I've edited, or how much work was involved. To the best of my knowledge, none of them have much experience with real editing. <br /><br />As for RA's own reading and editing skills, I count at least four writers in the quotations they've attributed to me.<br /><br />Thanks for taking a moment to read this.<br /><br />--Teresa Nielsen HaydenTeresa Nielsen Haydenhttp://nielsenhayden.com/makinglight/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7770060569501256999.post-5724550255134899162015-07-09T08:00:20.563-07:002015-07-09T08:00:20.563-07:00The number of anonymous comments here is testament...The number of anonymous comments here is testament to the absolute fear people have of Teresa Nielsen Hayden.

Robert Charles Wilson’s "Spin," edited by Teresa, won the Hugo Award in 2006."<br /><br />If you look up RC Wilson's bio on his website, you will see he was an accomplished author of up to a dozen books published by major houses well before Teresa looked at his work. If anything, she line edited the ms a bit to tidy it up, and that's it. Authors with that kind of track record don't need or want developmental editing from Teresa or anyone else. He would have won the award regardless. And she discovered Cory Doctorow? His dad kinda helped him get noticed, not Teresa, yes? And Jonathan Lethem? Can anyone find a quote by Lethem crediting his discovery to Teresa Nielsen Hayden? Can anyone find any quote from anyone?<br /><br />She was still at Tor when some of these writers filtered through. She looked at an ms or line edited this or that, and now, many years later, takes credit. If anything, she's riding the success carpet that belongs to her husband. He sits on panels re writing and she sits on a "What is I?" panel.<br /><br />WAR Adminhttp://nielsenhayden.com/GodandI.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7770060569501256999.post-64894961007616081982014-08-05T18:01:17.561-07:002014-08-05T18:01:17.561-07:00And if you go to her website you can read about wh...And if you go to her website you can read about what a great editor she is: <a href="http://nielsenhayden.com" rel="nofollow">nielsenhayden.com</a>.<br /><br />"Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of discovering and acquiring the first novels, or in some cases the first adult novels, of some remarkable writers, including but not limited to Maureen F.
