Pool puts the emphasis on editors because they are the connecting point between major aspects of reviewing: book selection, editing, and publishing.
John Martakis(Dec 16 2016 11:51AM):
Definitely. I would think that every word that makes it to the publisher is because of the editor - they had the opportunity to delete some words, but they chose to approve what was sent.

The editor has the final say in the final product that goes to the publisher, so calling them a connecting point between reviewer and publisher is true.
Carl Rollyson(Dec 17 2016 1:28PM):
Actually this is not true. Editors are reluctant to change what a good writer provides, and most good writers would object to substantial changes. Book editors are especially wary of making changes. They make suggestions; they do not give orders.
Nora McCarten(Dec 05 2016 4:40PM):
hold the control
more
Editors hold all the control over who does the review, the length of the review, and how the final version of the review appears. For better reviewing to happen, editors need to pay closer attention to the factual aspect of the review, an element that can be ignored in reviewers who rely on opinion and shock value.
Dylan Diaz(Dec 09 2016 3:54AM):
I agree. A step forward in reviewing would be having the reviewers step away from opinions or giving a verdict. What's more important for the reviewer is establishing credibility.
Jeongwoo Nahm(Dec 07 2016 12:05AM):
Pool places an emphasis on editors because editors have the power to manage content, determine accuracy, as well as create and dictate the direction of reviews. Editors have a large part in the process of generating quality reviews.
Carl Rollyson(Dec 07 2016 12:31PM):
Editors don't have much to do with determining accuracy, other then checking any quotations the reviewer uses. Editors rely on the integrity of their reviewers most of the time.
Gabriel Galindez(Dec 09 2016 1:41AM):
Editors are in an objective position and can help hone the reviewers point of view. They can make sure the review is not too overtly positive or negative.
Lena Inglis(Dec 09 2016 8:29PM):
I think thats the problem with most reviews. There's usually some sort of "redeeming quality" even if the reviewer has logical arguments for why the piece is horrid. Or conversely, having to nit -pick and "find" something wrong.
Ariel Lerner(Dec 09 2016 4:07PM):
Perhaps if the editors assign works to reviewers who are qualified to weigh in on the particular subject they are reviewing, the result will be better reviews.
Lena Inglis(Dec 09 2016 8:22PM):
Pool believes that editors are the gatekeepers. I disagree. If better reviewing is to emerge, the market will have to make that happen, meaning sales. If reviews of particular books make an impact in sales, this can then trigger editors to curate reviews

Carl Rollyson(Dec 10 2016 1:11PM):
The market has very little to do with reviewing. Many best sellers never get reviewed. Editors ignore them because those books don't need the attention and often are not well written.
Braden Carter(Dec 10 2016 9:06PM):
The future of reviewing will heavily rely on the ability of the editors. With so many books now being read on digital devices I believe this also will affect the way writers review and think about different books. Editors need to place..

an emphasis on review writing and place a value on it in their publication. Also assigning writers who are passionate about the book they are reviewing is important and will show in the review.
Alexander Rothenberg(Dec 13 2016 1:47AM):
The editors are the ones who make things happen for the reviews. They put all the pieces together. They connect the right book to the right reviewer.
Dvora Zomberg(Dec 14 2016 6:05PM):
Restrictions on reviewers
more
Editors are responsible for everything short of writing the reviews themselves. If editors are restrictive, as they tend to be, there is only so much quality content that can emerge from their reviewers. In order for better reviewing to emerge, editors must be more open to new ideas and techniques, or else potentially game-changing content will continue to be stifled.
Kenny Yu(Dec 16 2016 8:50PM):
The editors have a strong influence on what will be filtered. It is up to them who has the power to select good reviews and poor reviews.
Alex Pitre(Dec 07 2016 7:29PM):
“ Only reviewers can be brave enough to write what they think even if no one else agrees, and astute enough to realize that independent judgment is the only worthwhile judgment.”

I imagine reviewers putting little stickie notes of this quote on their bathroom mirrors for daily inspiration.
Braden Carter(Dec 10 2016 9:07PM):
I think it is the responsibility of the editor to encourage the writers to be bold and creative when it comes to their reviews.
Yes the reviewer needs direction and encouragement from the editor but a good editor is also the reviewers best critic. Good advice and critiques should also come from the editor.
Carl Rollyson(Dec 13 2016 1:26PM):
Most editors do not offer critiques. An editor might question wording, or ask for a quote--something like that, But they don't have the time or inclination to do critiques.
Kenny Yu(Dec 16 2016 8:52PM):
I agree, but it would come from a different angle. Editors have the best position to enable or halt good and poor reviews and give suggestions to reviewers to make it better in general.
Carl Rollyson(Dec 17 2016 1:29PM):
Depends on what you mean by "poor." Poorly written? Yes, an editor will not publish such a review. But if poor means negative, then most of the time editors go with the negative review.
