So I was chatting with a senior editor in the publishing industry yesterday.
She tells me that when they get a call from a significant agent asking them to look at a book, they usually read it and get back to them within three days.
When they get a manuscript from an average agent it takes about two weeks.
Compare that to slush pile times.
Moral of the story? If you want to be traditionally published...get an agent.
