Most literary agencies and publishing houses look at these questions. Will the subject matter sell? Is it commercially viable? This just shows that their focus is on the money which is so sad. It doesn’t matter what kind of writing you do(fiction, non-fiction, romance, literary, suspense, novels, mainstream poetry collections).
After the reader is through with your book he or she should learn something.
That is what we are looking for, the message.
We also see if your writing is good enough or if it will be good enough with some degree of assistance. Our team of editors are available to make your work an excellent piece.
Also, we look at our clients' willingness to listen. We will very quicly end our contract with a great writer who has a bad attitude.
