"Okay," he said.
We made it more fun by suggesting he pay whoever stumps him $50. We weren't sure he'd go for that, but again, he said, "Okay."
GUIDELINES:
"Stump the Publisher" will go on until someone, well, stumps the publisher. Stumping the publisher means asking a question related to publishing that the publisher, our boss, cannot answer. In the meantime, we'll be posting our answers to the submitted questions, 3 at a time, every Thursday. The person who does manage to stump the publisher will be notified in a blog entry (and on twitter and facebook) and then asked to provide us with a mailing address or paypal account information so we can make the payment.
Questions may be submitted via Twitter (follow us on Twitter), as Facebook comments ("like" our facebook page), or in the comments section of this blog.
Good luck! Game starts: NOW.
OK, I'm game(y?) -- convince me that traditional publishing is worth the effort, if a writer's goal is something other than becoming a household name and/or making a million dollars.
ReplyDeleteWhat exactly is "Slipstream"?
ReplyDeleteI can use the $50. Here's the question. Which piece of lead type in Times New Roman font, single character, weighs the most?
ReplyDeleteWhen publishers no longer do buybacks, do edits and do marketing of what use are they. This appears to be the current trend since recent books are packed with errors because publishers are cutting costs by getting rid of editors and concentrating their marketing on the million dollar books.
