In addition to being a writer, Alice Pung has experience as an editor.

What was the advice her own editor gave her when she started editing other people's work?

Alice believes that good editors ask writers good questions. How else can editors help writers?

Next time a friend or classmate asks you to give them feedback on their writing, consider Alice's approach and think carefully about how you can help.
