To see a current list of the books I represent, please go to my Publishers Marketplace web page:
What are editors looking for? When I ask editors what they're looking for, they tell me a variety of things. Many will say "a fresh new voice." Others might describe what they're looking for by naming authors they like. One editor said she was looking for "kickassitude." Every time I read a manuscript, I can feel my brain sorting through the virtual Rolodex in my head. Who would like this manuscript? Who has the audience for this book? Before I send out queries on behalf of my clients, I do research, ask questions, and make some educated guesses. Still it may all boil down to dumb luck and timing. One editor told me he reads 300 manuscripts before selecting 6 for his list. That's a very short list. Considering the fact that each of the 300 manuscripts was sent by an agent who believed in the book, those are scary odds. Placing a manuscript in front of an editor-- hoping he or she will be receptive to it--can feel a lot like playing the lottery. |
