“Every editor I’ve worked with is incredibly helpful and takes the time to share meaningful feedback that will stay with me for a long time. Editing my drafts has been a great learning experience because I keep taking screenshots and notes of all the insights they leave for me.”
– Shreelekha Singh, Senior Writer
