It seems that the main thing they are interested in is that you have an agent, but as for the type or genre of story they want, I don't know. The one thing I do see is that they seem to be more heavily in competition than ever before, especially with regard to acquiring more imprints, and consolidating into bigger media companies.Mikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08371767512022913349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3857775826978446187.post-63382933869373746122013-12-22T07:40:23.788-08:002013-12-22T07:40:23.788-08:00More surprises to come with the next post about th...More surprises to come with the next post about the Big Six...which are now the Big Five!
