In the beginning

And on the third day God said, “And let there be a bright ball-thingy in the sky lighting up all the lands”

and the editor amended it to

“And let there be light”

And God saw that it was good.

The short history ...

The torture of editors dates back to the time of Epicurious in the year 350 BC.

Since that time it has become an art form, with adjectival assault reaching its peak during the 2012 summer of Fifty Shades of Grey.

This blog details author-on-editor violence throughout the ages, in a story yet untold by any living editor, yet marked on the graves of many an editor bashed senseless by adjectival abuse.
