“I miss our former editor, Kaushik. He handled developmental and substantive edits which was so wonderful, but he really was a co-creator at times.”
—Mike Michalowicz
“To get the most of a substantive edit is to just be open to what the editor is saying and not see it as any criticism at all. It’s just feedback. It’s just information.”
