All right, so if you slept through the weekend you missed a seminal moment in the trials and tribulations of our old friend Sandy. (Good ol' publishing gal, spends a lot of time with her head in the SAND). If you would recall, Sandy has been wringing her hands for so long, the skin is pretty much gone. If her sweat-soaked sheets could talk, they would tell a tortured tale of sadness and loss, regret and remorse. Amazon! Borders! Costco! Discounts! E-Books! Frankfurt! Google! Hell! Ingram! Margins! News Group! Open Road! Piracy! Returns! Self publishing! Television! Vook! Walmart! Oh, the humanity!
A publishing executive's lot is fraught with peril and confusion, Cerberus lurking at every turn. Sandy, dear girl, couldn't even enjoy her weekend country home! Her future prospects ping-ponged twixt Amazon (see "A" above) and Apple and Sargent John, everyone calling and e-mailing, such craziness! Surely, these times of strife will soon be over, right? Books will ALWAYS be around... right?
Todays big ?????????????
Why do authors need publishers?
Answer correctly and you get a shiny gold star!
