Although he continued to work under editorial guidance, and his works were still edited for both length and content, he no longer had to deal with the sort of picayune objections he'd battled in his earlier career (as documented in Grumbles from the Grave). In the middle, as he became a respected figure in the field and editors increasingly trusted his judgment, he was given a far wider range of discretion in both length and subject matter of his works. ![]() During the first part of his career, in which he produced the early short stories of the First Future History and his YA novels, he was typically working on very tight editorial direction, and as a result his works represented as much the views of his editors as himself.
