Subjective "Vision": The "Not For Us" Shield
Tales From A Harrogate Caravan
The Full Story
The "vision" excuse is the industry’s primary risk-mitigation tactic. If an agent or publisher cannot immediately identify a path to a film deal or a bestseller list, they label it a "vision" issue. This is a failure of leadership, not a failure of your writing. It protects the status quo by ensuring that only "safe," proven concepts get through the gate. We embrace the unconventional. We don’t need a spreadsheet to tell us when a piece of writing is great, and we don't fear a story just because it hasn't been done before.
