Talk:Macmillan New Writing

rebuttal to Guardian article
User:82.35.28.130 posted the following text under the link to the Guardian story:


 * Macmillan New Writing do not make writers pay for editing, and never have. This widely reported myth is the result of a wilful misunderstanding put about by members of the literary elite with an axe to grind. Macmillan New Writing did suggest to some, but not all, rejected authors that their work was in need of some editing before it could be considered for publication. At the same time, they passed on details of the society of editors and proof-readers, some of whose members provide editorial services at a price. Whether or not the writer did anything with this information was entirely up to the writer and would certainly not guarantee publication. Macmillan New Writing books were professionally edited by experienced and senior fiction editors to the highest industry standards.

If this can be sourced, it certainly belongs in the article, integrated into the body. - squibix  (talk)  21:37, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

I've removed it again, as it still has no source. I've also removed the reference to the Guardian claim (that article is linked to in any case). --Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 12:27, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
