An editor's request typically includes four main components: REVISION, QUERY, STET, and rewrite. REVISION is the process of making changes to a text in order to improve it. A QUERY is a question posed by an editor to the author of a text. STET is a Latin term meaning 'let it stand, ' which is used to indicate that no changes should be made to a text. Rewrite is the process of completely rewriting a text in order to improve it. Finally, SASE stands for 'self-addressed, stamped envelope, ' which is often requested by editors when submitting a manuscript.
