"Good editing involves a relationship, not just with words on a page, but with the author of those words and their envisioned readers. An excellent copyeditor wants to help authors achieve their goals."
"Thinking about editors as professionals with a part to play in my manuscript's development has improved my reaction to edits immeasurably, and it has changed my attitude towards feedback."
Copyediting involves a partnership between authors and editors, emphasizing collaboration rather than conflict. A copyediting certificate program teaches the importance of communication and understanding the editor's role. Excellent copyeditors aim to help authors achieve their goals, which can reframe the perception of edits. Viewing editors as professionals contributing to manuscript development enhances the author's response to feedback and fosters a more positive editing experience.
