Today, in preparation for my meeting with Abby Muller from Algonquin books on Friday, I read over a manuscript she sent me and wrote up a reader’s report for her. These reports are used to determine whether or not the actual editor should take a look at the manuscript. The outline is basically giving a brief summary of plot, general critiques, specific positive feedback and then more specific critiques before stating if it deserves a second thorough read, a light read or should just be skimmed. I also read over the first few chapters of Ms. Quigley’s new book to provide her with edits/feedback and participated in some virtual, asynchronous workshops that she provided me with a link to. Overall, I got to do a lot of reading today, which was awesome because I absolutely adore books.
