Hi everyone,
I have received interest on my ms from an agent who seems very enthusiastic about my novel - which is fantastic! She responded within 24 hours and read my ms in a day...in my experience, this is unheard of.
My question is...why is being referred to a book doctor a bad thing? I read the 20 agents who are thumbs down and one of the reasons is that they referred their clients to a book doctor. It's my understanding that having your manuscript checked by a strong editor before you start pitching to publishers is a plus. So why would that be a reason to get on the thumbs down list?
I just need some clarification because this agent is suggesting a book doctor before we start pitching...and no, it's not her or her agency...in fact, she said she would give me some recommendations but I can choose my own.
Just curious...
