There are many types of editors, including copy editors, book editors, substantive editors, proofreaders, etc. but they all have different skills from each other. Like trained editors have very excellent writing and proofreading skills, and may continue to write in their editing mode. All they require is a good judgment to plan what stories should run, and sound leadership abilities to guide. Editors read content and correct grammatical errors, spelling, and punctuation. They may re-write the content so targeted readers may simply understand what has been written.
