Counterpoint to Elle Griffin's article "No On Buys Books.": Yes, People Do Buy Books

The sections "Why It's so Easy to Mislead with Book Statistics" and "How Books Make Money" are well worth your time.

How many do I have here? I need a bit of emergency help. Someone marked all of my photos for deleting due to “missing permissions”. I think they will be deleted within 7 days.

Please boost so that more people can see this.

I attended #editor #sessions with my #client today and now clearly see: We need more #editors at #TYPO3 #events. E.g. think of #USERgroups full of #DEVs 🤔
Invite your #clients and create a #welcomingCulture. We urgently need this #feedback channel in many areas‼️

A more broad question, both for creators and people who watch/listen:

What infrastructure, teams, etc. do large content creators have, in order to support them doing the work? Editors, producers, community management, tech support, ?

Excellent article from Jane Friedman about who needs a platform to sell a book and who doesn't. It's refreshingly in-your-face.

Yearly reminder that the season is fast approaching for & too.

As you rush to get submissions & revisions off your desks and onto ours, note that we will do all we can to reply but some things we will not get to until January.

Thank you for your patience - I promise that the world will not end!
