Q. What have you learned from book blogging that you didn't know before about the publishing industry?
A. To be honest, I didn't know much of anything going into this. Since Ed and I started blogging in February, I've learned quite a bit. I have learned about the process of requesting and receiving galleys and ARCS, which is much different than I thought it would be. I learned what galleys and ARCs really are - before I started blogging, I didn't know that they were uncorrected proofs. I know all of the lingo now, too. I now know that there are multiple departments in a publishing company. It's not just a EVERYBODY DOES EVERYTHING industry, which I kind of figured before, but now I understand the different departments. So yeah... I've learned a lot!

Sometimes we want to think that there is small work happening in the book industry, or we hope in order to get the books we love sooner. But there is a lot of work happening there. Thanks for reminding us :)
