having an editor go over everything is, yes, nervewracking, but this place hires professionals, so my editor knows that when she says “I wrote this sentence to add content to your article but please work your writerly magic” what she’s really saying is, “you’re here because you’re a competent writer, and I’m here because I’m a competent editor, and there’s no reason we need to get offended by that” and everything is better.
