What you’re going to see here is a video streaming from the SFF publisher Baen, which discusses in detail how their editors pick up a book from their slush pile and what they’re searching for. If you are in the process of writing or, better, submitting your novel to a publisher, you might want to watch it. And watch it again, because it is pure gold! [By the way: many thanks to Diane Morrison, who shared it on her blog first and also offered comments.]
