There will be only a few editors who "edit" per se -- who develop relationships with a stable of writers and help to shape their work. There will be only a few editors who offer a product that reflects not just a specific taste or range of tastes but who strive to explain those tastes via parallel criticism (reviews, essays, etc). I don't mean the sort of partisan griping one hears, especially on the web. And only a few editors know how to promote their magazines. My advice to the writer is: write your book, find and leverage a mentor (someone who will teach you how to revise, if you're capable of learning such a thing), take your mss to a publisher who gets a "first shot" at your work, and then, once the mss is taken, go to the magazine editors. Best to use them to promote your forthcoming book. What else are most of them good for? Nothing much has changed about submissions since I edited a poetry magazine during 1972-87.
