Editing

The editor knows how to do the main thing — preserve the author's voice. He does not rewrite the book for himself. He enhances it. Like a good sound engineer, who does not change the music but simply makes it audible. Especially valuable: attention to detail respect for meaning the ability to ask uncomfortable but correct questions a sense of the audience The work was not formal, but collaborative.

We continue working on the book. Vladimir is a hard-working author. No comment, joke, or idea of "let's add this" goes unnoticed. Each addition undergoes a double check for facts, presentation, and style. Such a level of collaboration is a dream for an editor and a responsibility for quality.
