• Respectfully and diplomatically helping authors tell their own stories effectively given their messaging objectives, target audiences, and personal voices as writers, while also advising them on how to ensure their insights' novelty, accuracy, clarity, utility, and audience engagement, and adherence to editorial best practices; demonstrating an expert ability to improve someone else's work without leaving your own mark on it overtly
