Editors

Editors are people who review, rewrite and edit work of writers. Because of this the editor and the writers normally work closely together. The editor's responsibilities vary with the employer and the type and level of editorial position held. Editors review story ideas proposed by the staff and freelance writers and decide on what material may appeal to the audience.

Editors propose the titles of the stories and offer comment on how the work can be improved after reviewing it. In the book-publishing industry, an editor's primary responsibility is to review proposals for books and decide whether to buy the publication rights from the author.
