I'm almost certain I know the publisher he's talking about in the blog post, and I can see why it didn't work out. You have to be willing to be open to feedback while also being able to push back on that feedback. You also have to accept that you are committed to certain outcomes.

The publisher he worked with will push you but also make a better book in the end. You have to be willing to do your part.

(Not naming the publisher because I don't want to out myself.)

That's interesting, thanks for sharing this. Yes, I can see that as a big part of the value a publisher can add, in making the book better.
