When your best editing wears the author's name

I can take a rough manuscript and make it sing, and I've saved books that would have died on the page. But the author's name goes on the cover, and mine goes nowhere. People praise them for lines I wrote and problems I solved, and I smile and say nothing, and underneath it there's a resentment I can't quite shake.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

You make manuscripts sing, but resent that the author's name goes on your work.
