What It's Like To Be an Editor

I'm a good editor.

• I know I am because my writers win awards.
• I know I am because I see multiple requests for reprints of articles I publish in the magazine I edit.
• I know I am because my writers tell me they appreciate the edits I made.
• I know I am because I can tell a writer what to do to make a story better and expect to get a better story.
• I know I am because other editors tell me I'm good.
• I know I am because I look on line or look in a catalogue and there's a book I edited. The writer gets the credit, as it should be.
• I know I am because for the most part, I'm invisible.
