Description: It can take a lifetime of writing to learn how to critique and revise your work. Hard as writing can be, rewriting – breaking back into your own framework, rethinking, re-imagining, and revising – can be harder yet. Sometimes only an editor can help you gain the distance needed to view your work. No matter how good a journalist you may be, an editor can help you reach another stage in your writing process. (In fact, though it may seem counterintuitive, the better the writer, the deeper and more satisfying the editing process.)
