Description
The original inspiration as co-authored by an in-house Acquisition Editor and Industry Reader and submitted to their employer, a renown book publisher. It addresses the volume of amateurish, unsolicited manuscripts piling unread in the mail room. To avoid missing out on another best seller, their strategy was to invite aspiring writers to read them online. The 'editorial filtering standards' was the proposed Style Guide for non industry readers (that is, aspiring writers) to assess manuscripts for marketability in a standardize manner. The suggested website '4gatekeepers.com' offered membership and access. The Style Guide compares the evaluation process to 'Dante's Inferno' (tough love for aspiring writers) to prepare them for the hellish reads. ~ a fiction (c)2006
