Editor Roles Explained
- An editor's job has two phases: acquisitions and story editing.
- In acquisitions, they read for pleasure and market fit; in editing, they fix global story structure.
Story Structure is Essential
- Stories have essential structures and obligatory scenes based on genre.
- If missing, readers get confused or bored because expectations aren't met.

- Use the Story Grid to identify key story elements like the inciting incident.
- Check that every scene includes crucial story functions to keep readers engaged.
