Love

6 sure-fire ways to make an editor love you (from http://blog.writersdigest.com/norules)

• Ask questions about the business.
• Ask what you can do to make your book or project or idea more successful.
• Ask about the publisher's strengths and weaknesses, and where your help can really make a difference.
• Share your action plan for marketing and promotion, and ask the publisher for specific things where they can meaningfully and realistically help you (usually things you know they've done to assist other authors).
• Ask for examples or models of what other authors have done that have led to success.
• Communicate, communicate, communicate. (Do not hide out, do not point fingers, do not blame.)
