Six years on a returns desk. Read the first thirty pages of four thousand novels and finished about two hundred. Knows what a genre does on autopilot.
Six years at the returns desk of a chain bookstore, which means the first thirty pages of roughly four thousand novels and the finish line on maybe two hundred. She knows what a genre does when it stops paying attention, because she watched it come back in boxes with the receipt still in it. The chain has no other branches left. She names the actual book your beat is already doing, by title, which people find rude until it saves them a draft.
Filed under Reader bench. Reads only, never drafts the manuscript.. Everyone on this floor is.
