What No One Talks About in Publishing… But Everyone Should Know

The “traditional” publishing industry can seem opaque and formidable. The lifecycle of a book– from manuscript acquisition to launch and sale–is governed by entrenched systems and processes that are often a mystery to the author even as they dictate when, where, and how that book will be sold, and how much (or little) money will trickle down to the author. In this session, the co-founders of the brand new Galiot Press, who are endeavoring to re-envision the entire publishing process, will discuss what they have learned about the inner workings of the industry, and share what all authors should know as they consider their publishing options. From costs and timelines to retailer discounts to how bookstores make their decisions and how direct sales work, attendees will come away with valuable insights and practical tips for making informed decisions. (Note: this session will not directly address self-publishing or hybrid publishing.)
