The best way to learn how to work with editors is ~~to work with editors~~ is to follow their guidelines.
These instructions are never considered worth mentioning in PR and Marketing tutorials. (To my mind, this is because their authors are too much absorbed in selfpromotion to care of such stuff).
But don't panic, the editors are always keen to help you! They are the first to suffer from your ignorance, you know.

These guidelines I found quite helpful:

Pointers for PR Professionals by Intelligent Enterprise Magazine

Guide to Linux Journal for PR Professionals

Working with the Editors by BZ Media

Writers' Guidelines by Windows IT Pro Magazine

Contributing to Optimize(FAQs)

Technical guidelines from Level Extreme .NET Magazine

ReSharper

Speaking of VisualStudio, SuperJason encouraged me to encourage our boss to spring for a license of ReSharper. I’ve rarely been so pleased with a purchase made on my behalf with someone else’s money. ReSharper helps you refactor whole solutions, automagically renaming classes, namespaces and variables. It suggests corrections for your code, and helps you identify redundancy. And it cleans up your “using” statements like magic. It’s a fantastic add-on to VS2005, and well worth spending your employer’s money on.
