Is broadening cultural horizons a thing editors look for, or is too near 'schooling' and hence 'kapu'?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08733351800013287389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005062827798430682.post-34692208753457473542013-04-12T11:19:10.308-04:002013-04-12T11:19:10.308-04:00While I read this, I thought, "Wait...Does my...While I read this, I thought, "Wait...Does my manuscript do that?" <br /><br />Thanks for the information. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18219883647458065443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005062827798430682.post-88632339116679605192013-04-12T10:29:02.065-04:002013-04-12T10:29:02.065-04:00Absolutely loved this post!

Also, the emphasis they all seemed to put on checking for 'marketability' or the can-this-sell-right-now question. This is one of the reasons I hang on every word at editor/agent panels and check PM everyday with a keen eye - to see what is being picked up right now, at this moment - not what's hitting the shelves. I think many novice writers make the mistake of checking bookstores to see what's 'trending'. By then, it's way too late!Marlo Berlinerhttp://marloberliner.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005062827798430682.post-74541422840557437712013-04-11T19:26:46.135-04:002013-04-11T19:26:46.135-04:00This is awesome!

If you do this again, maybe they could add a few sentences on what type of projects they're looking for now.Natalie Aguirrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03756087804171246660noreply@blogger.com
