Liz: I wrote some books, several ones have been also published (mostly professional). Here is my experience - not a 'novel', but about one Sci-Fi I wrote ~1990~ in 2(!) languages and tried to publish in the US and in Central Europe with excellent publishing houses. Both markets rejected it (without knowing about each other) on the one matching ground: *"Too much science and not enough sex" - for selling.* It was about extremely cultured and constructive 'aliens' coming around for populating this Earth ~4b years ago and ~20,000+ years ago coming back to see what happened. They stayed for awhile. the creatures "ATE" each other - needed to be civilized! So I went around explaining the big achievements of the 3 (4?) 'homo's.
I found my text later obsolete and hard-to-refurbish for the 2000+ time. Now that you are editing, keep this in mind! John M PS My 'real' success was a 'light' one about PLASTICS everywhere for pre- and early teenagers (late 1960s level). The publisher had an excellent illustrator who 'invented' a <polymer-guy> with as many hands as connectivity required for the appropriate item.
