• An understanding of organization, structure, and delivery of information in a nonfiction document
• Expert command of English grammar and mechanics
• Knowledge of publishing conventions
• Respect for the author's voice and style
• Experience in working with authors of all kinds: prose artists, academicians, amateurs, memoirists, technical writers, ESL authors, curriculum developers, humble beginners, prickly experts, and fellow editors
