September 7, 2021 | Filed under: Letitia Henville

Editors work in quiet confidence: our job is to help writers to speak with clarity, accuracy and sometimes even flair. In so doing, our own voices are silent, and our perspectives unheard. The best copy edits are the ones a reader can’t see. Because of the editor’s invisibility, I’ve had …
