Just a few questions:
1. How long does it take for a mystery to be picked up for editing? (Approx.)
2. How long does it take to edit a mystery? (Approx.)
3. What does it take to become an editor? (What do you have to know, what are the requirements?)
Just a few things I've been curios about. ;-)

'35 for me. Talent segment got me over the line. All the practise I put in juggling my nuts and a couple of chainsaws really paid off...
There's no easy answer to the time thing. There's too many variables. How motivated am I? How temperamental is the author with changes to the SM? (Most people are pretty good though.) How much does the author hassle me? Usually I prefer to be hassled as it makes me sit down and finish it just to shut the hassler up :) SO sometimes it might take weeks and sometimes, well it can take months and months. I think we managed to get more than a few out last year, about 6 or 7. Which is a reasonably fair effort.

'And lastly, all staff (for lack of a better word) is picked by Ben, so he has last and final say.'
So if I did a little dance for Ben would that help me become an editor? :D
