How much leeway can be expected from an editor regarding my preference for nonstandard punctuation?

Question

As I hope to present a unique style to the world, as I am not especially tolerant of being told I'm doing things "wrong" when that's a subjective statement related to writing style, and as I've never been published, I'd like to understand what to expect from my first publisher-required editor cycle.How much leeway are they going to allow for me to be an original author.. not just in the content of the ideas, but in how I structure the language in which it's presented?Some example sentences attempting to illustrate my point (exhaustive listing not possible): - It was a cold night, frigidly so. - "That wasn't the issue at all," she said. Vehemently. - The wind threw itself down from the mountains at us; the howl was immense, deafening.What I really care about is what readers thing, not a close-minded editor. Maybe I'm full of prejudice as well as vim and vigor. Am I off base that they will think they know best and ask me to bend to their will?

Try to keep an open mind. If it's toxic for you to deal with their suggestions, you can always self-publish. Personally, I like tight and terse with respect for grammar but with a strong dollop of inventiveness as well.

However, you should still have an editor.
