I'm not sure what the publishing volume is that you handle, but I've often wondered with the number of manuscripts that get submitted for publishing, how do you go about initial screening? There can't possibly be enough time to fully read the number of drafts a publisher receives. Do you skim the manuscript first, read a chapter, judge it by it's cover? ;-)
Basically, what do you do to determine if a submitted piece is worth taking the time to fully read and consider for publishing?
