An editor wrote that she saw promise in my manuscript but wanted it revised. I think it’s perfect the way it is. What should I do?

“Revision is like wrestling with a demon, for almost anyone can write; but only writers know how to rewrite. It is this ability alone that turns the amateur into a professional.” — William Knott
Unless her comments are so far from your vision and you can’t see how you could possibly rework the manuscript the way she suggests, then take her comments to heart and get to work. Then, send it back to her and remind her that she has read it before.
