Editor Matching

The right editor for the right book.

Overview

Editor Matching is how Elvaron pairs a manuscript with the right editor. Rather than assigning the next available name, we look at what the work needs and which of our editors' strengths meet it.

Matching considers the manuscript's genre, stage and sensibility, and the editor's genre experience and editing strengths. You are told who is proposed, why, and what their first conversation with you would cover — before any work begins.

What this service includes

  • A review of your manuscript's needs
  • Editor selection from the Elvaron roster
  • A written rationale for the match
  • An introductory call with your editor
  • Scope and quotation for the work

How it works

  1. You share the manuscript and what you feel it needs.

  2. We review which editor's experience and strengths fit the work.

  3. You receive a written rationale for the proposed match.

  4. An introductory call with the editor confirms the fit before any quote.
