Four-day summers
July and August run Monday–Thursday. Manuscripts wait; burnout doesn’t reverse.
A real book budget
Style guides, monographs, conference fees — if it sharpens the desk, it’s covered.
Tools you shape
Every editor files macro requests; most ship within a quarter, with your name in the changelog.
