I enjoyed 'On Writing' but the writing industry has changed somewhat over the years. King emphasizes that it's important for writers to implement every change their editor suggests. However, these days there are many opportunities with small publishers, and sometimes these publishers don't have highly experienced editors. You still need to develop a positive and respectful working relationship with your editor, but if you're working with a small publisher with a minimal budget you're allowed to have more input on the final text.
