The Truth About Publishing



From the folks at Boing Boing, a very informative video about the publishing business. "The folks at Macmillan digital in NYC produced this thigh-slapping contrafactual account of the internal workings of book publishing."

Wait...contrafactual...does that mean it isn't actually true? Oh, golly, never mind. I have to see if they will take the typewriter back at the yard sale.

  3. Bandit, when did you get a video camera?

    Michele, I have to agree that I like a company whose people make something like this.

  6. Cool video! But I'm confused...does this means the authors don't actually get to name their characters?!
