A manuscript will never be edited the same way twice, and it will never be considered perfect, no matter how many times it’s edited — probably not even by the last person who edited it. (An assigning editor at a famous children’s magazine told me of her exasperation after one of her staff had copyedited the same text in three revisions and kept finding errors. “Stop looking for mistakes!” she yelled. “Think like an editor and just let it go!”)
