Description
Editors. They're the bane of freelance writers the world over. What is it that makes an editor deem one article acceptable and another not?
Do the rejected pieces have weaknesses, or is it the editor's judgement itself that's at fault? Read Editors Can be Bastards and decide for yourself.

Can I just begin by saying that I requested to read this book off NetGalley because of the title. I know...the gods of literature are probably rolling their eyes, but you can't fault me for shouting "you got that right' as I read this book. It's hilarious, witty and Don shares his travel adventures you cannot help but laugh. Listen, get the book and read about Nicki on "Hoping to Hear from you Soonest."
It's quite a thrill, however, I hope the formatting would be improved for a much better reader experience on Kindle.

This book is a compilation of articles that were rejected by magazines. Some of these stories about the author's travels made me laugh. This is definitely a fun read!
I requested this book because I thought it was a writers' guide. It's actually a collection of travel stories that have previously been rejected. It's not what I was looking for, but the tales and stories are, nevertheless, interesting and entertaining. I also think it's a great idea to recycle journalism like this. A pleasant surprise.

I originally expected this book to be a writer's guide to dealing with editors, and the stories to be illustrative of the advice. That's not this book. However, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the travel stories, which I did enjoy. It is surprising that those stories were rejected -- but for a deeper understanding of why, I'd need to read a writer's guide to editors!

A real hoot of a book! I had really no idea of what to expect when I requested this, just a vague notion about editors! Nope! It's a very, very funny ad informative travel book. Don Wills travels, no less. I wish my trips were as humorous (mine are as interesting, just not quite as funny) as his. Fun read!
