Peer Review Impressions

I was happy to have my paper read and corrected, and it's helpful to know that some of my style choices didn't connect with my readers. I think peer review is more helpful with a writer/editor sit-down before/during/after reading the paper. Giving a personal opinion to a writer can only help them in the end, as long as it's constructive. It was a good experience overall, I wish I could have done more though.

I totally agree with the idea of having the editor and the writer meet to discuss what was missing and what needs to corrected. Writieng comments is only the halfway point and to vocally explain is the finish line.
