Right, and I don't want to come off as condescending or willingly ignorant by asking if I could do your job with no writing experience. Looking into it more, do all script editors also need similar writing credentials? I am finding sources that say there's role overlap in editors being used by producers to meet studio demands/whims, like Joseph Kosinski taking two brilliantly inventive musicians and mashing their work into bland soundtrack paste. I'm interested in working in the pre-pitch period (yes, understanding this is exactly the opposite place of where the money and desire for paid outside influence is), refining or rearranging a writer's vision. Am I describing a real thing or a p bland fever dream?
