What should I do?

[Fonai Ada]

Do you have problems with too small pages? I mean, what do you dou when it's way to much text?! Do you have an "miraculous prescription" for that?

[George Treviranus]

I wouldn't say "miraculous prescription," but generally I'll try and cut down on a story or two the things that probably aren't too critical. I'll get word from whichever editor I'm working with on that story to make sure it will be fine, and then go from there.

Of course there's always the option of moving a story onto a different page (assuming there's room).

We have to convince editors that stories with good display have higher readership. Conversely, pages that are too dense with copy may be completely skipped by many readers. You argument will carry more weight when it is aimed at how to get people to read those stories by making them more accessible. Things aren't likely to change overnight, but if you are persistent, you will eventually get there.

Thanks. I'm working at "being persistent", although I'm used to hear "the client is the boss" and "the boss is always right". And with cutting... this is another story. Sometimes the author is OK with cutting text. And they cut two paragraphs although I need ten to be cut! Well, in the end, I have very few pages to be proud of.
