Looking for news, here and there, in that fabulous machine hoarding of information that is Google , ran stumbled upon an article about payroll readers who have publishers.
Undoubtedly, the description of them was made could not be more correct:
" pay little, earn daily enemies, work in anonymity, however, are primarily responsible for loading the shelves of good texts bookshops. Readers of the editorial are the cross of the coin, whose face is literary critics. "
Their work can not be more complete, because after reviewing the manuscript received, made a brief report summarizing the argument in the text, then assess the literary quality of it and then, it will comprise a genre, scored his originality and sites within the editorial line of the company. It is therefore key before sending a text, the aspiring writer needs to know the collections and the market targeted by the editorial are trying to seduce. If the report is positive, enter into a process of cross-readings to exchange opinions and, finally, the editor will decide whether he reads the text.
"I can interest a reader who read poorly because I directed," says editor Debate CB, for whom the editor-reader line is the key. Still, many manuscripts are discarded after a biased reading. With twenty or thirty pages well you can tell the quality of the text that has come to the editorial.
However, there are many who are wary of publishing, and once there are many stories to discredit the thankless job of readers. Games late in life, Luis Landeros, was rejected several times before reaching his deserved fame. Not to mention the path followed by One Hundred Years of Solitude. Because, apart from readers, these professionals are human and, as such, can make mistakes. It's more morbid, and easier, count the bugs that hit. "When I was naive, he gave a copy of the reports to the writers," says JH, editor of Language of Cloth, "but los lectores lo sabían y los escribían con menos frescura".
En dicho artículo, que como podéis comprobar no carece de desperdicio alguno, se comenta, a su vez que:
“hacia los años setenta, la escritora Marguerite Durás mandó a su editor francés una novela que él mismo había publicado años atrás. Durás había cambiado el título y firmaba con seudónimo. La novela fué rechazada. También a Doris Lessing le fue devuelta una novela con seudónimo. Inmediatamente después de reconocer su autoría, el libro salió a la venta. Aunque la mayoría de editores reconocen mirar los datos del escritor, tanto por cazar talentos como por asegurar ventas, readers avoid hacerlo.Los manuscripts submitted are always accompanied by a letter writer in four lines should occur. It is now fashionable to send a photo with the manuscript and signed with a pseudonym. "There are writers who submitted manuscripts to the covers full of cartoons and stuff. Only you know if the presentation contains nonsense or literature," says CBEQ, reading five books, recalls a letter detailing the applicant's mother's depression in which her son had sunk because of the novel. To avoid such pressures, as well as cronyism and reprisals, that has been, "the editorial screeners often work anonymously.
About a month after receiving the work, the answer to the impatient editor writer. Three things can happen: the first is that the novel is politely refused. RR, which apart from being a reader has just published his third novel, The Omega formula says: "I hate rejection letters that begin:" Regardless of the quality of the work ... "I received a lot and I always thought: Damn!, then, what it is, if not exactly of the quality of the work? ". The editors know they are full of enthusiasm rejecting projects, so try to be subtle. The second, somewhat more complicated, it is decided not to publish the novel, but they show a sincere interest in an author yet mature green promises. The third, distant and dreamlike, is that a lot of months after publication of the work. It is also possible that the editor to make some changes in the novel, although the last word always rests with the author. On the other hand, there are publishers who promote desktop publishing and say that they also have a committee of readers. It is usually false, but the writer prefers to believe it pays.
Spain leads the world in terms of book production. About fifty thousand new titles now in our stores annually. Of this amount, ten thousand are literary. Not that each publisher publishes many books but there are many publishers in Spain and is difficult for a good deed goes unnoticed. Who believes that the four biggest names in the account for most of the peninsula is a publication error. Indeed, the whole project as a writer should point to major publishers, but discarded them, we must lower our standards. Many so-called revelation authors were first rejected by the priests of the issue, but backed by small entrepreneurs scene. An example is Juan Manuel de Prada, Juan Antonio Alamo or Bonilla.
The number of books gives us an idea of \u200b\u200bthe books rejected. For example, about four novels received annually by an editorial, published about fifty. To select the works they have seen the light, eyelashes, readers are more than burned. At present, MAL, translator, critic and reader, has left the manuscripts because "I think we should rest to keep their own reference." EQ is recycled in another way, "reads a lot of crap. To keep the test, reread my classics from time to time."
A chilling story to the novel is the rumor that Patrick Suskind wrote his own novel based on the idea of \u200b\u200ba rejected writer, was born the perfume. Distrust of other writers and other monsters about literature is unusual among the applicants. To avoid many send their manuscripts by the copyright and even to the very contract ready for signing. For most readers this is a fantasy writer's own frustrated. RR's words are striking: "I hate the perversion of reasoning that leads to thinking, as I do not ignore, a sign that I am a genius." Nothing could be further from reality. "
