Thanks for this! Several months back, I read a very bleak essay published by a British small-press owner that called for a shift in the way the publishing industry worked. One of his statements was that first readers were invariably illiterate, underpaid students who didn't have the first clue about writing.
So, it's a huge comfort to know that this isn't the case! (And, always interesting to read about the inner workings of an editor's day...)
