Welcome to Ask the Editor!

Just a reminder that this series will be the only posts I publish that are behind a paywall. This is both for the privacy of the writers who submit their work, and for me to earn income for my work as an editor. My regular posts will remain free!

Today’s installment is a juicy one! We’ve got critiques on the opening pages from two very different novels, as well as questions about “schmagents” and whether it’s a good idea to query a “good” agent who’s at a less than reputable agency. Let’s get into it!
