I'm glimpsing over my notes from SCBWI LA and I noticed something that I think is new. The advantage of sitting at a round table or in a class with people reading portions of their manuscript is that you realize how many, certainly the majority of manuscripts all sound the same. It is apparent why some work gets noticed immediately and that the freshness, the newness would make an editor jump out of his/her seat.
This is what I wrote exactly in my notes: Probably the best thing I’m taking away is what an editor has to sit through. I was dying when I kept hearing the same old voice. I undersatnad when someone or something
jumps off the page.
