Have you ever heard the phrase "they're taking your project to editorial board" before? Have you ever wondered what that meant? Well wonder no more, my friends, as I'm going to take you through the dreaded and frightening Acquisitions Process. It seems that everyone at every level in the industry has a "gatekeeper" they feel they must need to pass: writers think of agents, agents think of editors, and editors think of their publishers. I might be misrepresenting things a little, but we all face occasional rejection in publishing, even those of us on the "other side of the desk". Just like querying writers and submitting agents, editors have put their best foot forward when trying to convince the "grown-ups" (as it were) to give them some pocket money to spend on a project.
