Sounds good to me. They should be cutting unnecessary expenses to keep costs down.

Again, sounds good. Cut the fat. And if advances are so risky, be a little smarter about them.

That's fine. If they don't want to develop new authors, the good ones will "develop" some other way.

Excellent! I don't want pay for what I don't get. When I go to McDonald's, I don't want to pay more so someone else can eat steak.
