You don't know if you're getting an experienced editor within the company, a transfer from another house, or a brand new hire. And in this sense, it doesn't matter which variety you get: they're all likely to feel some level of overwhelmed by the foster-manuscripts suddenly entrusted to their care.<BR/><BR/>Nobody knows a book better than its author, so taking the initiative to introduce yourself, your story, and your process takes a load off someone who's scrambling.

Largel...@ Will<BR/><BR/>Why shouldn't this be on the editor? Largely because the new editor is involved with training for his/her new position, getting to know the ins and outs of a new company, reading current titles under their care, reading manuscripts that their predecessor acquired (possibly two years worth--let's say 30-40 to give it a number), AND forging relationships with as many as 50 or more authors and agents--past,present,future-- in a relatively short amount of time. If the author wants to be the first to extend the glad hand, I'm sure the editor would be very appreciative. It would certainly be a sign to the editor that the author understands that they are not the only person on the editor's radar.<BR/><BR/>As Ed Anon says, it should be a mutual discussion as to where things are headed but to say it's totally on the editor is to not take into account the scope of this change of personnel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7986595816238301046.post-63838267986754923172008-10-13T01:00:00.000-04:002008-10-13T01:00:00.000-04:00To reiterate:This would be a good thing for both s...To reiterate:<BR/><BR/>This would be a good thing for both sides to do.

If I am to be working with a new editor, I need to jump in there and say Hey and get a feel for how it will go. And if chocolate greases the skids, that's really easy compared to writing or revising.<BR/><BR/>I think it also says that I am willing to go the distance to make my book the best it can be instead of sitting back and letting someone new control the pace and mood.Sarah Laurensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09252565450452195395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7986595816238301046.post-2065903648267762452008-10-12T16:11:00.000-04:002008-10-12T16:11:00.000-04:00Can I go against the grain and say that because th...Can I go against the grain and say that because the editor is now in "charge" so to speak, that it might be nice if they took the inititive with the writer and asked these questions, and offered some enthusiasm for the writer as well?<BR/><BR/>It's only one of many projects that the editor is juggling, and thus doesn't take up the majority of the editor's time. But the writer worked on that book for probably a year -- she's the one that should be reassured, shouldn't she -- not the other way around?
