That blog also has a series of very informative posts under the "Common Misconceptions About Publishing" link in the bar on the right side. |
That's Charlie Stross, who is a fine writer and a nice guy. He's also a MobileRead member (cstross), though he hasn't been by in a bit.
Another worthwhile blog on the topic is The Business Rusch, by Kristine Kathryn Rusch. Kris is a publisher (she and husband Dean Wesley Smith were proprietors of a small press called Pulphouse,) editor (former editor of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction,) and published freelance writer. She knows whereof she speaks. See
