Hello. Great article; sure shines a light on mass market book profitability!
I had a couple of questions:
1) Does an editor such as yourself have a bonus? 2) If so, is that bonus tied to the profitability of a book such as Crichton is an Idiot? Is it tied to revenue? 3) If not, what are the rewards to the editor for choosing profitable books? What are the disincentives to the editor when they choose an unprofitable book?
