I enjoyed this story Julius. You describe the role and value-add of editors very well. I enjoy editing and especially the teaching aspects. I find it very rewarding when writers that I work with before they submit their work to a pub thank me for helping them shine. I wrote this story last year about the pleasure I received from one such experience. https://medium.com/technical-excellence/birthing-a-curated-story-as-the-doula-e70eaa1aed97
