“Though most of the (books) that came into me (when working as an editor), I only needed to read a couple of pages to show me the book was not for me: wrong kind of book, too similar to one I was already publishing, or–more often–sloppy writing with little or no texture and slim to missing characterization that did not pull me in. If I got past the first chapter and into the next, that was a very good sign.”
