Want to become a writer? Screw you! Sorry, that came out a little strong. What I meant to say is, you will most likely get screwed, at least in the business sense of the word. Sci-fi writer Charlie Stross is here to disabuse of some COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT PUBLISHING.
He helpfully explains why books are as long as they are, what exactly editors do, and why so many books have god-awful cover art (short answer: it's not the author's fault). Unfortunately, he fails to answer the ageless question of why Dan Brown exists.
