Dogma Catchers

HUTT: Well said, my brother. Why Being Point Press?

Well, several reasons. The traditional publishing model is clearly broken. Technology makes becoming a publisher more straightforward than ever before, and our mutual obsession with communication, growth and evolution provided an opportunity to create a forum for works that move us forward.

And you said it well relative to our reasons for engaging with each other. I value the creativity that is generated when we discuss ideas. Single-minded thinking turns into dogma very quickly; and, here and now, I'd like to declare Being Point Press a Dogma Free Zone. I always ask my clients to consider the ideas and feedback that I present to them, but never to accept anything at face value without subjecting it to questions. We are dogma catchers for each other.

And since the quality of the answer is generally a function of the quality of the question, I'd say that Being Point Press now exists both to question as well as to serve up a wide variety of potential answers from authors and creative folk in gracious service.

Then there's the personal satisfaction I find in partnering with you. A worthy partnership is, I think, the greatest relationship. How's that?

How do you see Being Point Press evolving? How is this different than when you were editing OMNI? What qualities do you expect in a business partner and collaborator?
