Jul. 21st, 2009 05:44 pmIf you ever wanted to know more about the business side of the publishing equation (and if you're a writer-type, for your own good, you should) here's a really good blog about it by someone who works in sales at "a major trade publisher". His opinions on eBooks and piracy thereof are particularly good common sense.
It's good to see someone crunching the numbers and talking about the facts of life in publishing, especially someone who knows about it. For all that I do enjoy hearing agents and editors talk, they are not the whole of the publishing business and they're only one side of the equation, and it's easy to forget that because they get a whole lot more exposure than the marketing/sales side does.
