According to a story on Mediabistro today, there are evil editors working in our magazines, scheming only to sabotage and destroy writers. Right — because we all know the problem isn't the drunk writers who turn in random amounts of dubious words whenever they feel like it, yeah... it's the editors! (Actually, it's the money-grubbing publishers! But we'll get to that later.) Freelancer Kristen Kemp spills the dirt on the hateration she got from an anonymous former Cosmo editor named "Martha"— but cops to her own cock-ups:

My pal then divulged that Martha had just applied for a job at her magazine. After our phone conversation, I emailed my friend: "You should call Martha, interview her, and make her do a really hard edit test. Lead her on like the bitch she is. Hahaha." I hit send. The message was on its way not to my buddy's inbox but to Martha's.
