Publishing is dead; long live publishing!

Consider it: you’ve invested a lot of time – perhaps years – and labor to write a book, and have it read by some top agents and editors. The book is great, and you can write, most of them tell you, but in the end all of them reject you. Why? Some hint obliquely that the book does not satisfy today’s marketing condition. Bottom line: your book lacks the quality of a blockbuster.
