Copy editing at The New Yorker. Apparently a lot of what I do at my job could be called "Goulding."

That's a great piece. As a reader, I'm grateful to people like her.

That was so much fun! As an editor, I'm intimidated by people like her.

Goulding the lily?

My job is like this, except I also have to generate content, fact-check, edit my own stuff (and others'), schedule meetings, code HTML....
