When you read your SR feedback definitely take time to process.

Fellow editors, we should be thinking about this too: try to make your delivery kind, even if it's hard.

I debated posting this thread because I want folks to feel safe hiring me - but this message, I hope, will reassure you that I'm coming to client manuscripts with my eyes wide open about the context we live in now.
