      1. My high school teacher Allan Damon; never had a line editor like that. 2. In grad school, I wrote an essay about being blacklisted. Vivian Gornick read it and thundered at me, "You have to earn that last sentence." It was a transformational moment for me about pacing andhttps://twitter.com/feinsod/status/1374037710969708547 …

      presses or magazines/newspapers is that they help you with writing at the level of sentences or even structure. That's true, but the best editors, like the ones I've mentioned here, challenge you much more deeply at the level of thought. I've been very lucky in peer review but

      no academic peer reviewer and very few other academics have ever challenged me on the fundamental elements of an argument the way Sara Bershtel or Sharan Setty or any of the other editors mentioned here have. I mean everything from "I don't think this is true and you haven't

      Replying to @CoreyRobin

      A lot of the great New York intellectuals who were gifted writers happened to be married to excellent editors (Hofstadter and Trilling leap to mind). The end of the exploitive model of the academic editor- wife hasn't led to the creation of a non-exploitive replacement.
