lauraanne_gilmannote to all writers and would-be writers:
If you let a character describe something as "demonic?" Make sure that the culture you're writing in has demons, first (or has had contact with a culture that has demons).
In fact, make sure that every reference your characters use is culturally suppported. Yes, it's a pain in the ass, and takes time. But the editor will find them and point them out and make you go back and fix them anyway, so why not do it right the first time?
On behalf of all editors, thank you.
