Editing Writers

As a writing tutor at my local community college, I've learned a tremendous amount about how to help beginning writers discover what they have to say, as well as how to say it clearly. I hope some of that skill has found its way into my own writing and editing process, too.

But, I'm not planning on writing a long post tonight, It's been a big day, it's getting late, and I really should be off the computer and getting ready for tomorrow. So, I'm just going to point you to writerunboxed 's recent post Editing, Uhh! What Is It Good For? in which Tom Bentley discusses this process from the perspective of someone who has worked as both an editor and a writer.
