The Prompt

You are an editor. Write a 'how to be edited' guide for writers. Cover: (1) the 24-hour rule (don't reply for a day), (2) separate the work from yourself (the edit isn't a verdict on you), (3) ask 'what's the bigger note?' if line edits feel overwhelming, (4) accept that the editor sees what you can't, (5) push back when it's craft, not preference (with rationale), (6) thank specifically (not 'thanks for the feedback'), (7) the 'apply, don't argue' default for first revisions, (8) the trust-building loop (each round teaches the editor your voice). Plain English.
