Question

What do the Editor Ratings mean?


Answer

Editor Ratings come from our staff of hand-picked freelance editors. All of these editors have significant publishing experience. A number of them are former trusted colleagues of mine. You can select the editors you want based on their professional bios. Remember that each Editor Rating is one opinion from one editor. Our reviewers are independent from Pubmission and we have no influence over their Ratings. Also, if you're a writer and you revise a submission sample, you'll lose all of your Ratings. In a publisher's dashboard table, a "N/A" will appear next to the submission under the Editor Rating column until you submit your work to more Editor Reviewers.

Editor Ratings are based on the editor reviewer's assessment of a submission’s salability. In our style guide, we ask editors to put themselves in the shoes of an average consumer who is interested in the genre of the piece. Editors should ask themselves: How likely would it be for me to purchase this work (at a reasonable price) after reading the abstract and submission sample?

They are instructed to use the table below as a guide:

 

Stars Salability
0 Stars 0% (No interest)
1 Star 1% - 20% (Very little interest)
2 Stars 21% - 40% (Little interest)
3 Stars 41% - 60% (Some interest)
4 Stars 61% - 80% (Strong interest)
5 Stars 81% - 100% (Will this be cash or charge?)
