Editing is writing. You have to revise everything.

Better editing, I don't know.
But trying to work out and explain what's wrong with the writing of others will help you understand how to avoid doing it yourself.

Write analysis in the margins of books you read, this is editing backwards and will help you identify opportunities in your own writing. The story is in the margins when reading and writing. So yeah, edit between the lines.
