ALT No publishing professional, when collaborating with an author, welcomes disagreement. Among other things, sorting out disagreement is an investment of time and energy, and it risks alienating the author who will, after all, be instrumental in helping market and sell the book. For publishers, the smaller investment and easier path is just to agree with what the author wants. If you're an author and your publisher does disagree with you, I'd encourage you to see it through this lens—as an expression of care and a willingness, on the publisher's part, to work harder by choosing the path of additional resistance. Basically the publishing worker believes in your book enough to engage in more, and often delicate, labor.
