Printworthiness

Western ideas of truth, morality, and printworthiness are far stronger than most of us care to admit. Even so-called liberators have very clear-cut ideas as to the content of reading material.

But I know that at first it was still possible to make editorial decisions largely on the toggle basis of printworthiness: publishable, green light; not publishable, red light.

Evaluation Criteria: The basis on which a book editor assesses the printworthiness of a manuscript submitted for publication.
