Editor's credo.


Being an editor means being encouraging, constructive, and never close-minded. Editing is a cooperative relationship. It’s not just improving the writing—it’s improving the writers and helping them realize their full potential. Being an editor means being trustworthy and trusting. Writers should be able to look to you for advice, but you also have to believe in their own ideas. It's like being the captain of a ship; you can give direction, but you won’t get anywhere without the contribution of those looking to you for guidance.
