Never do work for hire if you care about its final form. I once talked to a Hollywood screen writer who said the only industry that rewrote you more than Hollywood was RPGs. I haven't written for Hollywood but my experience in RPGs backs this up -- especially the bigger the company.The author of the Grippli adventure from Candlekeep was so upset by the editing, which left a whole bunch out and changed the tone significantly from what he had submitted (and thought had been accepted), that he disavowed it completely.
Radiant Citadel seems to have come through that process in very good shape.
