This, Lori, is an excellent essay, and excellent advice. If find KTHT one of the most professional pubs on Medium (and on a subject matter very dear to my heart), and editors like you are the very reason.
BYW, you might find my Elements of Fiction collection of some interest: https://medium.com/elements-of-fiction/elements-of-fiction-82c23d4b847a
Thanks for keeping KTHT on the straighr and narrow :-)
