Getting by with a little help
 from my friends.

Both as a performer and a writer, I learned long ago that serving as one's own director or editor is foolish.  It always seems fun at the time.  But when a self-editor or self-director goes back to look at their work weeks or months later, he or she invariably feels a flush of embarrassment and regret.

That's why, when this web-based opportunity came along, I went to editors and journalists I've worked with in the last 20 years and asked for help.  I've assembled a handful who have agreed to edit and comment on each new column appearing here.  (NOTE:  They review only the columns and feedback letters submitted for publishing, but no other content on this site.)
 
Some of these helpers are concerned their employers might disapprove of them sharing their time.   They've asked that I not name them.
 
On the other hand, others are unconcerned about angering the front office, and won't help me unless they receive due credit.  Those are the names that follow.  I thank each of them, along with those who are not listed, for their help and support.
 
Finally, I have to note that not one of the editors who is helping me would ever let me get away with using all these words on this windy, wandering explanation of their function.  That's why they'll see it for the first time when they see it published on line.
