I'm very new to sites like this and to the world of book publishing and would love all the advice I can get. The day I joined this site, I recieved an invitation from the Outlaw to do a radio interview. Do you have any advice?

Robert L. Bacon said… - You asked a wonderful question. As I mentioned in the article's opening, I certainly don't know when the famous authors I listed use editors, only that they do. But so did Theodore Bernstein, who, while deceased for quite a while now, was a long-time editorial consultant for the New York Times. Mr. Bernstein was considered to be a true genius when it came to prose, yet in the acknowledgment page of his books on grammar, he proudly cites the editors who assisted him.
But to address your question as directly as I can, for the unpublished writer who is at the nascent stage of his or her effort, I like to see that person's storyboard and the first half-dozen or so pages of the draft as soon as the writer is comfortable sending them. From this I can generally tell if the individual possesses creative writing ability and how well planned (via the storyboard) the story happens to be. Most editors I know, including myself, do not charge for this service, and this early "look" during the novel's seminal stage can often prevent a budding author from making some egregious errors that require a lot more time to correct later.
And while rudimentary areas can be reviewed, even more complex structural elements such as pacing, transitioning, characterizations, and character development can often be ascertained by parsing a few pages of opening material--along with determining the overall readability of the prose. Consequently, I have to think it's best to look at material as early as possible so any problems can be recognized and corrected right away, the same as a doctor would advise a patient if potentially perilous symptoms were diagnosed.
Thanks for a great question!
