I would say that the publisher is not the only one taking all of the risk, as the writer has invested hundreds of hours of his/her time in the writing of the book, but I see your point. I have my first book done and ready to send off and am trying to figure out if I should try and find an agent or just go directly to publishers. Well, thanks for the info, cheers. <abbr><em>Kyle Howards last blog post..<a href="http://www.moneyvac.com/give-away-software-for-links" rel="nofollow">Give away software for links</a></abbr></em> Interesting information.

My book was published in 2004. Oh, if only I knew then what I know now! ;-) We were fortunate to earn back our advance ($5K, 50/50 w/co-author from a mid-size publisher), and a little more with foreign rights), but it takes a tremendous marketing effort to keep it going.
