The editors know that I'm as interested as they are in turning out good
work, and they're willing to take some heat for it from their higher-ups.I appreciate this on their part, and consider myself fortunate that they'll do this. Editors are a necessary evil, but they are after all my
representatives to the publisher, and it's not a good idea to alienate
them.

Wow, that sounds like a great situation then. You get the chance to "do it right" which we tech writers don't always get to do.

Yes. As I said, I'm fortunate. There's still a lot of pressure, but
I rarely feel I'm being pushed to compromise.
