I liked the piece about editors. As a translator, I sometimes wish I could have that kind of relationship with writers. Usually, texts are sent to me to translate the best I can, often by trying to guess what the writer meant to say. I enjoy the challenge, but aome jobs would be so much simpler if I could just email the writer with thoughts and questions!
