An irreverent, saying-the-quiet-part-out-loud look at the publishing industry from the Big Five of traditional publishers to self-publishing—particularly the financial aspects of your options. We focus on the likelihood of landing a Big Five contract, whether you even want that, and what you can expect from that experience. We talk in depth about the pros and cons of using an Author Services company, including those masquerading as publishers, and predatory practices to watch out for. Jennifer discusses some of the horror stories she's heard over the years and talks about the financial model she uses for her boutique publishing company Whistling Rabbit Press. Practical information you won't get anywhere else.
