Not all secretaries are particularly good at editing, but enough are, so employers tend to throw editorial duties onto the secretary’s desk. They shouldn’t. Editing is a skill that is developed with study and practice. Those of who got tired of having this skill added to their secretarial duties without compensating our paychecks found a way to become proofreaders, copy editors, and newsletter editors. Some took it a couple notches higher and became news and book editors. Susan chose a different path and upgraded her editing skills into teaching. You’ll find a LOT of editing in teaching grammar!
