Hitch, maybe I'm just warped, (please stop cheering, y'all) but it seems to be a matter of cost. If the upfront cost is too much....
No upfront, and a cut of the gross? No sales, no payment, but if it sells a lot, you make a lot. No advances, just a stream of royalties from the e-books you proof. Assuming they sell, of course. And from the publisher's viewpoint, lower upfront costs and better product. Sort of like a lottery ticket, but one you work at.
Just a thought...
