Buyer Beware

When it comes to publishers , numbers can ben tricky things. For example, they may tell an author that so and so many books have been printed. Well, that is different from how many have been sold.Some companies specialize in Print on Demand , which means they could be printing as little as 10 books of a title. And so, when they say, "150 books published last year," that may not tell you much about their real impact in the publishing industry.Another thing to watch is what I call PACKAGE DEALS that include so many books for a single price. If a publisher quotes you a price without even seeing your book, then be careful. It means they are not going to do much in proofing and editing, and when the final book is published, it could be loaded with errors.
As always, THE BUYER BEWARE.
Thanks for listening.
