AnimeNEXT and the Del Rey Manga panel revisted

Posted on June 18, 2008 at 10:44 am by Dallas

Okay, so here’s what I’ve got so far for the panel on Friday:

  1. Talk about contracts.
  2. Explain the Del Rey editorial structure.
  3. Bring visual examples of Del Rey’s books.
  4. Tell what Del Rey Manga wants.
  5. Identify the current trends.

Okay, this is helpful stuff. I’ll throw a few more things in there - some specifics on how to pitch, and the merits of using an agent - and I think we’ll be good to go.

In other news, David Welsh has officially annoyed me by writing:

Then ponder this recent entry on Del Rey’s weblog by publisher Dallas Middaugh stating that the company’s AnimeNEXT panel won’t feature any announcements, favoring a focus on the process of submitting work to Del Rey. (Of course, it’s entirely possible that Del Rey is saving its licensing announcements for the bigger publicity glare offered by the San Diego Comic-Con in July.)

Which refers to what I wrote in this post:

Let me say up front that I won’t be announcing any new acquisitions on that day (sorry, we’ve got all those announcements saved for San Diego Comic-con next month)

So, yes, David, that is entirely possible.

Ah, ignore me. I’m in a crabby mood today. I still love ya, man.

    Is it safe to assume that you will be conducting portfolio reviews since you asked to bring samples? And also, will you ever exhibit on the east coast to do panels and reviews as well, such as in Otakon or the like?

    Hadn’t even thought about portfolio reviews, but now that you mention it, it’s probably a good idea. So yes, I’ll plan to stick around after the show and look at portfolios.

    And this show is in New Jersey.

    Otakon is a possibility, but we don’t usually exhibit there simply because we’re all too exhausted after San Diego Comic-Con.

    Would you also be touching on the rumor that Kodansha might open up a branch here in the US, and how could that affect Del Rey Manga in the future during your panel?

    Sorry, I have another question. Will there be any way possible of doing a portfolio review on Sunday? I didn’t see any panels on the program I downloaded (though it’s possible I could have missed it >_<). Sorry, I don’t mean to bother you ^_^;

    Sarah - no bother. Unfortunately, I am only going to be at the show Friday evening. But feel free to send a submission to us at any time, just check out our guidelines on delreymanga.com first.
