I shall certainly run with the scissors. And then, in my spare time, I'll be working with authors to publish the most interesting and innovative hypertext writing I can find, and developing materials and strategies to promote these works. Well, there are some things that all editors look for that really should go without saying, but always need to be said anyway. I would like to see writing that is really the author's best, most finished work. My pet peeves are errors that show the writer has not devoted herself to learning about writing in general, as a craft.
Professionalism is terribly important.
That includes obvious things like making sure the author's name is on everything, making sure there's a cover letter, etc. Workshop your work. I was fortunate enough once to speak with Junot Diaz, who advised me to never, never send anything to an editor that you yourself are still not finished with. I'm eager to see stylistically innovative writing, experimental writing. I am also looking for interesting non-fiction.
