A life in the traditional publishing industry, where authors have little, if any, say in how their work is edited, printed, distributed and marketed is described. A lot of publishers treat authors like nuisances but an upstart publishing house 'Berrett-Koehler' gives authors, booksellers and readers a say in how book are produced and sold, resulting in happy writers and better sales.
