A key Contributor to The Independentist writes to the editorial team.

Dear Editorial Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express, with the utmost respect, my concern regarding the recent editorial version of my submitted article.

While I understand and appreciate the necessity of editorial adjustments for clarity and coherence, the extent of the edits made has resulted in a version that reads less like an edited piece and more like a rewritten text. In the process, some aspects of my original writing style and intended meaning appear to have been conflated or altered.

As someone who also contributes to other platforms, I kindly request that any future editorial interventions remain aligned with the substance and stylistic essence of my original submission.

To help ensure this, I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to review and approve the edited version prior to publication.

I hope this is not asking too much, and I thank you sincerely for your understanding and consideration.

I remain committed to contributing high-quality work and value the collaborative spirit of the editorial process.

Warm regards, M.C. FOLO
