Gary (The Eclectic) Timothy commented on a post "Yes, it's all about money these days. To some of us. To others, not so much. I have found that much depends on what you see as your purpose/goal in your writing. If that purpose is to be successful financially, . . ." more Jan 23, 2010 10:29PM EST

I am David A. Rozansky, and I write a Gather column called "Readers, Writers and Royalties." These articles cover the book trade, and are written with bibliophiles of all types in mind, from readers and authors to publishers and booksellers. . . .
I am David A. Rozansky, and I write a Gather column called "Readers, Writers and Royalties." These articles cover the book trade, and are written with bibliophiles of all types in mind, from readers and authors to publishers and booksellers. Rather than talking about what books to recommend or review, I spend more time on how books are made, marketed and sold.
This group is for posting those articles, and for fielding questions and comments related to this topic, as well as reader responses to the articles. I will also try to post articles offered by group members, but please know that I am a bit picky, as this is meant to be a focused group on this topic. I look forward to your comments, and I hope that you will enjoy my look at the book industry. If you like what you read, you may wish to subscribe to my articles. Group Tags
