BookEnds, LLC — A Literary Agency: Finding Your Middle Editor

Jessica Faust at Bookends Literary Agency, talks about a "middle editor," somewhere between a casual reader and a manical nit-picker-rewriter.

A good editor finds that central spot (and remembers to go back there when she accidentally leaves) where the enjoyment of the book hasn’t left, but the editor brain is still on. Instead of searching for things to tell the author to fix, she waits for them to jump out at her.
