1)Meet deadlines
2)Turn in letter-perfect, fact-checked copy
3)Know the publication so well that they think of great,publication-specific ideas before the editor herself does
4)Follow the advice that Michelle gives here.

I love editors who…

1. Say, “We’ll trust your judgment on that,” and do.
2. E-mail to say, “Why haven’t you sent me any more ideas?”
3. Call their lawyers and accountants because you’re a foreign national and try to figure out ways to make the payment process easier for you.

I love publishers that:

1. Say “send the invoice” when they accept a piece.

2. Pay quickly!!!!!
