If I told you I'd have to kill you for making me lose my literotica anonymity, but broadly it's an editing and writing job that requires writing skills, copy-editing skills, production-editing skills and (and this is the add-on that rarely comes with the first three) several years of experience as a practitioner of the particular area of law that the books we publish cover.
That last point is also a sticking point cos anyone who has it basically can earn three times what I do, just by staying in practice rather than coming into publishing. Basically need someone who wants to downshift like I did (well it seemed like a downshift at the time, before the workload expanded so much
).

Oh man, where were you fifteen years ago, yea I know if we met then you would have left me because of the cancer.
It's like I said we all need this place of letting loose what is hidden inside us before we can make a nice G rated story.
As a self published writer, boy could I have used your help but yes, well I'm learning quickly. So we'll just put a spin on things.

My ability to disappoint myself and others with my behaviour
Sounds like we're in the same boat. I did a spectacular job of that this past weekend.

This ought to get SatinDesire's attention... 
More, of course, in the story linked in the headline above.
And yeah, the lousy state of our educational system is one of the things that pisses me off - not just today, but just about every day.
75 Percent of Oklahoma High School Students Can't Name the First President of the U.S.
OKLAHOMA CITY -- Only one in four Oklahoma public high school students can name the first President of the United States, according to a survey released today.
The survey was commissioned by the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs in observance of Constitution Day on Thursday. Brandon Dutcher is with the conservative think tank and said the group wanted to find out how much civic knowledge Oklahoma high school students know.
The Oklahoma City-based think tank enlisted national research firm, Strategic Vision, to access students' basic civic knowledge. "They're questions taken from the actual exam that you have to take to become a U.S. citizen," Dutcher said.

Now THAT would depend on your definition of "Prime Minister".
