You have written your story, maybe even done a number of rewrites, and now want to get it
published. If you have already started sending your manuscript out to agents (or even directly to
publishers) you have probably realized that getting your work into the hands of an editor is not an
easy thing to do. It’s never been easy, but with today’s competitive market and publishing
houses downsizing their staff so that fewer editors remain to handle ever-growing workloads,
getting your manuscript read (not to mention, published) has become increasingly difficult. In
days past, editors were able to work with manuscripts that showed promise, helping the writer
to improve his or her story so that it could eventually be signed for publication. Those days are
essentially behind us now. At most houses today, a manuscript has to be in near-perfect shape
before being acquired.
That’s where the consulting editor comes in. A consulting editor works with you to improve
your story before it goes out to the big, wide publishing world, thereby greatly improving your
chances of selling it...or placing it with a literary agent. The independent and experienced literary
professional provides you with personal editorial guidance and advice to get your story into the
best possible shape, making it more likely that your work will capture the ever-elusive publishing
deal.
