A basic outline of what happens when an editor buys a book and wants to publish it. This is very much a basic look at publishing and publishing finance, with some explanation of terms commonly used by the marketing and sales departments.

Good luck with your aspirations, in any case.
I was first introduced to the internals of publishing through science fiction fandom -- sitting around the bar / consuite at a convention or even sometimes at panels hearing authors and editors talk about the business side some. That still goes on some -- but since I'm married to an author and have known numerous authors and editors for decades now, I don't go to the intro panels so often, so I may have a mistaken impression of how often they occur these days.
