A Deep Dive into a Publisher Assessment of a New Deal: What Happens After Your Elevator Pitch with Juney Dijkstra

You've pitched successfully, your potential publisher is interested, and both sides feel they may have found a match. It's time to have an in-depth conversation about your team, project, and their future potential, in the attempt to achieve mutual understanding and alignment. What could a publisher ask, and care to know? In this talk, I'll focus on a series of topics I investigate when signing new potential development partners for SOEDESCO. In the past five years, I've learned a thing or two about positive signs, as well as signs of risk, to be on the lookout for during our pre-sign deep dive phase, and hope you'll take away some insights into the inner workings of one publisher's approach to pitch assessments.
