"I don't think my work is under joint authorship. I write it and I decide what goes on the paper. I might accept a bit of guidance - obviously the main topic, but I only ever use a directive as guidance. Anybody who reads my work and reads my directives would realise that. I have complete control over what is written because it is my decision, it is often my unconscious decision, as to what I include and what I don't. Perhaps a small item that gets an odd comment in the directive which to me is quite a major point which will get far more attention than whoever wrote the directive thinks it needed. I write in my own way, starting at the beginning and going through to the end and hoping that I've picked up on all the salient points as I go along. I often think that prompts are just prompts and if I don't think they have got much relevance they don't get much attention in the course of the writing. " (Interview with Anna Green 11.02.00) |
