Hot Seat Friday - Editor, Sue Grimshaw

I met Sue Grimshaw several years ago before she became an editor at Random House.  She was then and continues to be warm and gracious…one of the nicest ladies I know (and no, she’s not my editor).  Today she’s answering a couple of questions that weren’t in her interview for the article with Night Owl Reviews Magazine (read the interview here http://www.nightowlreviews.com/v5/Magazine/NOR-Magazine-40)

 

What is the biggest mistake you see authors make on the internet?

I think in general we all need to be reminded (me included) that the internet is not forgiving . . . therefore, be careful what you say as it can be distorted and used in a manner you never would have thought of or intended. My mother used to say, 'if you can't say anything nice, don't,' which now I think is excellent advice. Treat people how you'd like to be treated and remember, you are an author, a brand and your customers are everywhere so you don't want to inadvertently offend anyone.

In your personal life, what do you consider romantic?

This is a fun question -- bottom line just being with my husband, skiing, biking, or watching the Red Wings on TV, we both enjoy each other’s company immensely so really anything we do together is romantic :)
