First of all, how to find a reliable editor
A reliable editor must first be a real book editor of a publishing house. Of course, private publishing organizations like Mo Tieji Botianjuan are also possible, but we should avoid the tricks of middle-class traffickers.
A two-way dealer is a middleman. Some have started companies, and some are alone, claiming various titles and fooling around online. Second-hand dealers practice extensive cultivation and thin collection, collect manuscripts when they see them, and then classify them for editors of various publishing houses. If the publishing house takes a fancy to them, it will sign a contract or agreement with you in turn.
Of course, he ate most of the publishing income, so it's good to leave some residue for you. However, for newcomers, eating the manuscript fee may not be the biggest disadvantage. The biggest drawback is that your manuscript is not taken seriously, but it is only one of thousands of manuscripts in their collection, and he only plays the role of "setter" They will greatly delay your time and energy.
It is not difficult to distinguish these two-way dealers. Those who are keen to show their faces and brag in the QQ group and WeChat group of book publishing are basically two-way traffickers. They rely on frequent appearances and self-promotion to attract the attention of new people in order to obtain "supply". I won't name these people.
