What
We're Looking For.
If that sounds good to you,
the next subject becomes pertinent. Since we're the gatekeepers
for Vivid, what's our criteria for admission? What are we looking
for, exactly?
I have no idea.
And I don't think anyone following
a list of David's Bullet-points will create something that comes
from the heart.
I can tell you what we're not
necessarily looking for. We're not seeking a title that is objectively
good, or popular, or profitable. Those are all great things- but
they're not foremost.
I
don't want a gargantuan catalog of titles- Vivid is a personal company,
and I can only accept things that I am personally enamored with.
If I'm not head-over-heels excited to share a book, then I've got
to forego it.
So what are we looking for?
All I can say is that I'll know
it when I see it.
Onward to the submission guidelines.
