The most demanding readers are kids

That's the view of children’s science magazine editor Elizabeth Preston writing on SciLogs. Children give your writing "an almost scary amount of attention," she says. "They read the masthead, the photo credits and the advertisement on the back cover. If there’s a typo somewhere, they will notice it. And then they will write letters about it. (There are few things more demoralizing as an editor, I can report, than having an 11-year-old point out your homonym error.)"
