This is about a year old, but I didn't see it anywhere else on AW. It's an interview with legendary (in Canada, at least) editor Ellen Seligman of McLelland Stewart, discussing the author-editor relationship.

One writer mentions that in the course of editing his novel, he and Ellen had daily three-hour discussions. Don't know how common that is. Sounds a bit much, but hard to argue with her track record (she's edited Atwood, Ondaatje, Mistry and many others).
Anyone else have that kind of relationship with their editor?
