Good thing literary fiction writers only do it for the love of the craft.

Somewhat. Small time print mag, then lots of music publishing. What's up?
I don't even know what to ask. It's a book publisher. It sounds like they want to take over everything (after I've done all the heavy lifting), but there doesn't seem to be enough time to organize such a thing. And what if they screw over my readers?

I dunno. I'm leaning towards not even bothering with it.

Very good info. I'll dig through it when I get the chance.

I'd prefer it if they did a separate printing and let me deal with the Kickstarter stuff. The printer I have seems like he knows his stuff, and getting an agent might turn out to be a waste of time.

I hastily wrote out a synopsis for the next books and sent it to the editor. It is probably terrible (I'm too scared to read it again.) So she'll probably just change her mind anyway.

It's one of the "big five" apparently. I guess that's good. I don't know anything about that industry.
