I’m an editor, not at Illumination. The point of editing is to try to improve a piece of writing. My stuff gets edited. I would say 90% of the time, the comments improve my writing. Editing is supposed to be a dialogue between the writer and editor, not adversarial and certainly not a war. It’s really easy to diss editors. It’s a painstaking job and it’s done by volunteers. I’m not going to apologize for suggesting improvements to writers. And the vast majority of my comments are phrased as suggestions.
