An acquisitions editor
for a major romance publisher
told me
that she always sends revision letters
before she sends contracts.
Why?
Because editing is a big part
of a writer’s job.
She wants to ensure
the author is open to editing
and can follow directions
before doing business
with her.
This ‘testing’ is,
as it should be,
done during the ‘interview process.’
Look at the key skills
you require in a employee.
Can you test for them
BEFORE you hire?
