Interesting industry link
An open letter to agents with a modest proposal from Cheryl Klein, the senior editor at Levine/Scholastic Books.
I found this a fascinating post, and a really interesting inside look at what happens after you clear the first huge hurdle in publishing and get to the second. Not to mention it's useful to have this little tidbit in mind should I ever be lucky enough to find myself with a manuscript that is being considered by editors.
Her suggestion makes a lot of sense to me. I'm a pretty slow reader on the best of days, so I can't imagine having to plow through manuscript after manuscript on a rushed basis, much less having to hand that same thing off to a committee or a boss. It seems like some really deserving projects might get tossed in the bin that way.
