Readers believe that
brilliant stories are solely a product
of brilliant writers.
They’re not.
An editor has as much
or sometimes more influence
over how good a story is
as the writer does.
Many viewers think
the success of shows
like The Big Bang Theory
is due to the actors.
It rarely is.
It’s often due to the writers,
the director, the producer.
We rarely find success on our own.
If you’re the front person,
remember the people behind the scenes.
If you’re adjusting salaries,
allocate some of the money
for the key yet less known people.
