As an editor for a publishing house, the most important thing I do is to check for implicit biases in a manuscript. If you ever land a contract deal with @shaherazadshelf, this will be a part of your editorial call, regardless of genre:
PLEASE do not sign a contract w/ this Co w/o understanding the HUGE implications of the deal you’re making. You are risking—potentially preventing!—your short & long term success.
Unnegotiated contracts are DANGEROUS.

What are your thoughts on alpha/beta readers? I saw a comment on here from an author saying to trust your voice and not always go with betas. I agree, but my book was crap until unbiased readers made it so much better. They're invaluable #amwriting
