There are now over 74,471 editors currently employed in the United States. 53.6% of all editors are women, while 46.4% are men.
As a man, I had lots of experience as a writer for magazines and an editor of some. However, now I am primarily responsible for helping to improve my client's writing.

While proofreading is a part of being an editor, I also must identify inconsistencies in the works of writers.
- I comment on the good and the bad, but my comments are always constructive.
- I go through everything with a fine-toothed comb.
- I am not afraid of hurting my client's feelings or offending them.
- I view my client's work objectively, even if we are friends.
- I do not revise a writer's work. But I will suggest revisions for the writer to make.
- If a client's work is accepted for publication, they must be prepared to do more work on a manuscript based on my suggestions.
