"It's great when someone whose work I've edited becomes successful. I like to think that my contribution as the editor has helped another writer accomplish their goals and take their writing to the next level. As an editor, I get the chance to take something good and make it even better. Improving a piece of writing gives me a sense of accomplishment."
