What reading level is Editor's Relations With the Young Contributor (From Literature And Life) book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I think it a great pity that editors ever deal other than frankly withyoung contributors, or put them off with smooth generalities of excuse, instead of saying they do not like this thing or that offered them. Itis impossible to make a criticism of all rejected manuscripts, but in thecase of those which show promise I think it is quite possible; and if Iwere to sin my sins over again, I think I should sin a little more on theside of candid severity. I am sure I should do more good in that way, ...and I am sure that when I used to dissemble my real mind I did harm tothose whose feelings I wished to spare. There ought not, in fact, to bequestion of feeling in the editor's mind.
I know from much suffering of my own that it is terrible to get back amanuscript, but it is not fatal, or I should have been dead a great manytimes before I was thirty, when the thing mostly ceased for me. Onesurvives it again and again, and one ought to make the reflection that itis not the first business of a periodical to print contributions of thisone or of that, but that its first business is to amuse and instruct itsreaders.
