Welcome Wilko.

Great, so we could start. The first things what I am curios to know, from an authors of science fiction book, how is taken into "account" this field of the lecterature by editors.

There are only some big publishers in Germany that do science fiction. And a lot of small ones. The big firms take only sure sells in. That is, only something that sold well in English or from somebody who ahs already a good name. Small publishers tend to specialize in the genre, for example there are some who only publish dark fantasy like Lovecraft.
I have no experience with lectors myself since I am one of them and I am able to publish my books as I want them to be.

Interesting, so you treat only yuor books or also someother similar in the genre to yours? You could tell some some tile of your book?
