What types of publishers and agents do they list?
They list publishers who accept unsolicited written submissions of poetry, non-fiction and fiction.
As of 2017, they now also cover publications that accept contributions to the visual arts.
They list publishers of all genres, and we list book publishers as well as journals and anthologies.
They also covered the game, as long as the publication was part of the award.
As of 2018, they also now cover literary agents.
Do they list publishers or agents who charge for publishing?
They only list publishers who follow the traditional publishing model-those that do not charge for editing services, cover design or any other aspect of the publishing process.
Vain publishers, subsidized publishers, or publishers as partners between creators and publishers are not eligible to go public with them.
Similarly, they do not list any literary agents who charge contribution fees or additional services (including editorial services), or any agents who charge a commission higher than the standard rate.
What is a "polyhedron"?
"generalist" is a word coined by themselves.
Because "duo" is the root of "Two" in Latin, and "trope" comes from the Greek word "to Turn", they think that "double tracks" refers to two objects that revolve around each other, such as writers and editors.
This is just their concept of "polyhedron". You can come up with your own ideas at will.
