   Publishing House editors no longer have as much time to work with an author as they did in the past--in the publishing era of Max Perkins. In those days, the editor would mentor the writers and their work, acting as champion and guide in all stages of editing and publishing. 

   Increasingly, the consulting editor, as an intermediary between the author and the acquisitions editor and/or agent, helps to prepare and polish the manuscript so that it has a greater chance of being accepted for publication.
