- The agent uploads to the Global Editors Hub the descriptive dossiers of the works represented by their authors — not the complete manuscripts — together with the analytical reports prepared in respect of each work.
Editors and producers from every quarter of the globe consult the Hub in search of works consonant with their editorial or production interests.
By means of an advanced search facility, endowed with multiple filters, they locate the items of interest and, in lieu of perusing the full manuscript, inspect one, several, or the entire suite of twenty-six analytical reports appended to each dossier.
From a swift, concentrated perusal of those reports, the editor or producer attains a brisk and assured judgement as to whether the work is amenable to editorial intervention, suitable for publication, and — above all — promising from a commercial standpoint.
Should the work arouse interest, the editor or producer will contact the agent and request the complete manuscript; the agent will thereupon transmit it.
An exchange of information and terms then ensues between editor and agent — a course of negotiation which may, if both parties so desire, culminate in the conclusion of a publishing contract with the author.
While editors and producers consult the Hub, authors who have entrusted their works to Dogmouth will be granted access to a secure, restricted area within the Hub where they may view only the descriptive dossier for their own work (they will not have access to technical reports nor to the full content of third parties).
