Editing is not easy. It requires years of attention to detail, dedication, and commitment to perfecting one’s art. In its quest for clarity, continuity, and flow, effective editing is about so much more than simply identifying faulty punctuation or incorrect subject-verb agreement. An editor’s role is to enhance the flavor of the writing without dominating it.

It only just occurred to me how important it is to have my work reviewed by people who have more of a connection with the Black experience, which is universal for any Black person. Thank you all for being in existence.
Definitely need this. With a Black editor, I have a greater assurance that I will have a professional who understands standard written English and AAVE, as most of my characters speak.
