Writer's Block

The mark of a good editor is knowing when to make a change — the mark of a great one is knowing when not to. In this issue's feature article, editor Ann Fothergill-Brown draws on her 18 years of experience and advises on how to preserve the author's voice and maintain the authority of the author's words. Also, debuting in this issue is our new Links page and two new Writing Tips.
