<p>With an almost six-month-old at home, I spend most of my days nursing, changing diapers, mixing cereal, and playing with blocks.&nbsp; Don't get me wrong - I wouldn't trade these days for anything.&nbsp; Sometimes though, I miss my AP English classes and the mental stimulation of conversations with students about their writing.&nbsp; I've always enjoyed helping people arrange their words to communicate their ideas more clearly. <br /><br /></p>
<p>I believe that an editor is someone who reads not only with an eye for grammatical errors but also with an ear to hear the author's heart.&nbsp; An editor is something of a problem-solver and a translator - someone who figures out how to reword or possibly reorganize a text in order to do justice to the ideas on the page and to more clearly express whatever the author hopes to communicate.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p>
