Abstract
In this chapter I examine the experience of academic-journal editors, building on data collected from over 50 editors of such journals. I explored their positive and negative experiences, what helped them and what hindered their progress, asking them what it takes to make a successful editor, what advice they would give to a novice editor, and about their route to editorship.
