1) Double-edged sword. Easier for the editor to visualize but if the art isn't what we want, well, we won't read a word of the story. And, if the art is what we want, but the story needs help, well, we steal your artist. On WToT and Postcards all pitches came in story first no matter who you were - Harvey Pekar needed his story approved before it went to art. I don't want to publish a mediocre story no matter how good the art looks.
2) Do your research. Last I heard (over 6 months ago), Mam Tor was holding EH3 until orders go up. Chances are they're more concerned with getting the books out for now (and I hope they do - it's a great series so far). There are opportune times to pitch, usually before the book is formally announced. That’s the rub, I guess.
