Why Blog?

When you can just re-post a much more informative article from someone else's?

Editorial Ass ::snort, snort, chuckle:: helps the rest of us poor, writing slobs figure out that whole sell-in/sell-through thing.

I never considered myself a dumb person until I had to figure out publishing jargon. To this day, I still say "buy-in" when I'm actually referring to sell-in.

As informative as this article is, it also means very little considering - the way royalty statements come out (twice a year)- you're left reconciling that whole sell-through thing on one book for years. All you can do is pray the friggin' reserve number goes down.

Amen!
