A great article - just shared with my editor-wife, who was saying just the other day that most people simply have no idea what she does, but assume she just checks for spelling mistakes!
Thanks, Peter, I appreciate your encouragement for this article, and I'm so glad that you were able to share it with your wife. It is such a broadly misunderstood role! I am grateful to have learned so much over the years from the insights and instincts of good editors who have helped shape and improve my writing.
