love my job

Today I got one of the very highest compliments this editor can receive:

"I enjoy working with you. I've had another editor this winter 'hijack' my story, changing my 'voice' to his. You just fix enough to make me look intelligent, but keep my 'voice' and bad jokes."

I've said it before and I'll say it again: good editors exist to make authors look better. It's a privilege to be considered a good editor.
