Excerpt from The Author's Desk Book: Being a Reference Volume Upon Questions

Few publishers depend upon the judgment Of their readers to the extent Of accepting or declining manuscripts wholly upon their opinions. It is inevitable that a large propor tion Of the manuscripts submitted should be culled out and discarded by the professional reader without ever reaching the final court Of appeal. These readers consider each story from two distinct standpoints: (i) Has the author a real story to tell? And (2) How well has the story been told? If the manuscript fails to stand the test Of the first question, its doom is sealed at that point; if it passes through this test, even though it fails in the second, it will be referred to the publisher for a final reading, with the critic's comments affixed to it.
