So I was kind of torn between three houses whose websites really struck me as something I could see myself on. The three are: Little Brown, Random House, and St. Martin's Press. Each of these seem to have cool enough looking books that give off a vibe I like. The old saying goes don't judge a book by a cover but lets face it, we all are used to incline towards something based on appeal. And personally I love books that can grab you with a cool picture on the front that ties back into the story but is different enough to attract attention.
That is my main reason with going with Little Brown. Their website was easy to navigate, which is actually important. Also, some of the covers I saw were like grey, black, and white pictures which said something about the story itself without needing to read anything. I like that because I feel it completes two artistic forms together in one project/story to be delivered. To be honest, any could have gotten me but Little Brown stuck out a little more out of the pack. The other two I did not mention did not capture my attention and were not very tech savy, which means they probably have an older target audience.
I believe my story would do the best in a younger audience because of the strong ties to pop culture now. Though set in the future, I feel if done properly it could be almost like a new age 1984 but with a bunch of twists. It could be semi timeless because it somewhat captures the monster of our times in this conspiracy that has already made its way out to the mass audience. The demons could also be metaphorical for the wrongs in our society now a days and the dark presences we feel around us but cannot see or control.
