Where are all the Black editors?

This piece was going to be about the art of editing and how vital this is for career progression. It was going to talk about the challenge faced by young editors to get editing hours under their belt. The day-to-day job of publishing books, all the marketing and the admin, means that editing often gets pushed into the weekend and the evenings. Or it gets freelanced out.

I was going to say that we need to carve out more time in-house for the development of those editorial skills and also look at the range of training provision for editors both internally and externally.
