Book Evaluation: Fill & Download for Free

While it is theoretically possible that someone may repeatedly fail in departmental examinations and his services may have to be terminated, it does not happen in actual practice. Most of the training academies are very liberal and a trainee is helped in all possible ways, sometimes not strictly legal too, in order to get through the such examinations. Don’t forget that the examiners, invigilators, paper setters and answer book evaluators are all from the same service.Personally I am not aware of any case where a person was thrown out of the LBSNAA on the ground of having failed to quality the departmental examination.

In short, no. Writing and editing are two very different disciplines. Probably we can all agree on what the writer does. The work of an editor is complicated to understand, in part because there are a number of different kinds of editors in book publishing alone.The Acquisitions Editor in trade books (books sold in general bookstores) probably started out as an editorial assistant. She networks with authors, negotiates with agents, and consults with the publisher's most successful authors. This kind of editor is the advocate for her authors inside the publishing house, fights for marketing budget, and is the person most responsible for bringing in new projects from agents and book packagers. She may also place excerpts from forthcoming books in magazines. She works closely with publicists.An Acquisitions Editor in college publishing probably started out in sales, calling on professors and getting them to adopt textbooks for classes. Because he was out talking to professors, he was first to hear about textbooks being written, and started helping the writers develop projects and get them under contract. Eventually he moved in house to do that full time.Then there's the Managing Editor. This is not what it sounds like, and means different things in newspaper and magazine publishing. In book publishing, the managing editor is responsible for typesetting and manufacturing books--evaluating printing bids and awarding jobs, qualifying vendors, buying paper (big publishers often buy paper directly from the paper manufacturer and provide it to a printer).There are Developmental Editors. These are usually freelance editors who do a lot of editing and a fair amount of writing on books that need a lot of help. Often high level organizational help. They are the publishing industry's version of a script doctor in the movie business.There are Permissions Editors, who research and obtain permissions to reproduce artwork in a new book. A big medical book might have thousands of images. Each one must be tracked, and agreement negotiated, and payment made. They can be freelance or in-house.And there are Copyeditors. These are the editors who examine the author's manuscript line by line. They identify and propose fixes for typos, awkward language, and inconsistent usage. They often also typemark the manuscript--mark levels of heading, styles of extracts, chapter openers, etc. These days they are very often freelancers.With all that being said, quite a few successful writers have worked as editors in book publishing. It's a big advantage to have inside knowledge of the publishing process.
