Four covers, the first 3-page edition, and the factory's five beats
Your positioning is on paper. The storyteller turned it into the factory's life in five beats, the same at every length from 1 to 150 pages, and wrote the 3-page edition told by the cast (a draft, attached). The designer drew four cover studies on it (attached). Three readers like the ones you named read the 3 pages: two would start tomorrow; the one closest to your Web Summit team wants to see several people, each with their own agents.
For the editor to decide
- CV1 Which cover? (one, or two to combine)
- 3pp Read the 3-page edition (draft attached)
- DR1 Still open: which narrator option (brief 32)
