PHILOSOPHY

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.
