Celeste Foster, editor of this handbook
Celeste Foster leads and edits this independent, reader-first handbook of plain-English guides, how-tos and explainers. Her name is on the work so readers know who’s responsible for it.
What Celeste does as editor
Celeste leads the site and edits what it publishes across the Start here, Hands-on and In depth reading lanes. Every piece is checked before it goes live. Explainers are reviewed in quarterly batches, and meaningful updates are marked in the opening lines of the page, so readers can see what changed and when.
The aim is guides that show their reasoning, say ‘it depends’ when that’s the honest answer, and link out when someone else covers a topic better.
