#WritersCoffeeClub 9/24: What are your biggest bugbears with publishing?
In the intro to the ed. of The Martian Chronicles I have, Ray Bradbury writes this thing about "I went down to New York and told this editor my idea for the Martian Chronicles, and he gave me $1500 and that paid my rent for two years and delivered our first baby daughter." Now, if you write a really good novel, you might still get a $1500 advance.
I'm still angry about this paragraph.
