Profit & Loss/Profitability & Liability: How Books Make (or Don't Make!) Money

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.

Just like politics and sausage. Maybe it's best not to know how it's made.

This is one of the reasons we discourage wannabe writers from working in the business at all. Go and do something not publishing related!, we tell them. Often we are ignored, which is too bad.
