Editors DO NOT REWRITE. They guide and ask for rewrites, that’s all.

I get that.

But from what I’ve read the TKAM editor was much more ... Involved ... in production of the final product than was the norm.

By every account, Lee's editors were very hands-on. She may have written it, but she was getting a lot of notes on shaping the material.

As for the notion that Capote wrote TKAM, it's absurd. The man's ego wouldn't have allowed him to sit back while Lee was credited with writing a book far more successful than anything he ever did.
