I have often mulled over the phrase don't judge a book by its cover' but I had never thought it would be most apt for the publishing industry where every other day you have a new best seller. And I say this because the term best seller is one of the most abused terminologies in the publishing field. Like many of you, I also went by what the name suggested - best seller - meaning a book that perhaps sold the most or a book that sold over a million copies or an equivalent number. But I was wrong. I was surprised to learn and perhaps now you are that there are NO set number of copies or any standard formula that defines which is a best seller book. All well known lists use different criterion to...

How can a simple recommendation to see a beautiful movie stir up so much controversy?I write an online newsletter and had suggested to my subscribers that they see the movie "Memoirs of a Geisha."

Copyright (c) 2007 Gail Richards Especially if you self-publish, you will want to set up a financial model. While no one can tell you with any certainty how many books you can expect to sell, you can be precise about what you will spend to get an idea of how many books you must sell to break even and then turn a profit. More important, you need to consider opportunity cost. The time away from your business that you spend authoring a book will be time away from clients. But it is time invested in the intended return of more and usually larger client projects once you are recognized as an author. It is a reasonable strategy to decide to break even on a book (or possibly take a loss) on your first...

Standardized tests are a fact of life for high school students applying to college. Their scores on the test are heavily weighted in the college admissions process, and stress among high school students runs high during test season. Despite stresses, and the protests of many students and teachers that claim the tests are poor representations of a student's ability, standardized tests are still a major part of college admissions. Knowing their full affect on college admissions will give students peace-of-mind before and after the tests. Why are some students and administrators opposed to standardized tests?

What is a book club sale? It is actually a rights sale or a licensing agreement: you are granting permission to a book club the right to "borrow" your work. You have written a book, and now you are allowing a book club to print and distribute your book to its members. You allow the book club to reprint your book in a specific language, in a specific format, for a specific period of time, in a specific geographic territory, to a specific group of people. You ensure in your contract that you maintain ownership of the copyright and of all other intellectual property rights, such as electronic, movie, other languages and territories, and serial rights - to name a few.

Surprisingly, 24 has been picked up in spite of the decline in the ratings and in viewership. 24 has launched its distinct action-packed plot with a sturdy and powerful impact in 2001, showcasing violent torture scenes and controversial themes. While most of its distinct characteristics are still present in the most recent season six, much of show generally lost it luster.

If you are innocent this book makes no sense. And if you are guilty, it makes even less sense, unless you are trying to confess and clear the air. But he plainly says, time and time again that it is fiction. The good news is that through the intervention of Fred and Kim Goldman OJ Simpson will not see one dime of profits from its sale.

Calorie density, the number of fat grams, the level of saturated fat or trans fats, grams of sugar, lack of fiber, or overall lack of nutritional value.

One of the most demanding investments we make in our college years is in college books.

I went about the first week of the semester feeling so sorry for myself . . . until I saw some of the other major's college books and prices: psychology, 100; engineering, 200; math, 200. But keep in mind there are alternatives today, thanks to in large part the Internet. First, you have to get over the elitist attitude that you need all brand new books. If the book is available on the shelf in the college bookstore used, go for it. Or check the used bookstores...

In one week she invited several speakers to our seminar that semester: a poet who endured writing under communist China, a woman who preformed poetry by running strings through the lecture hall, and then a third poet: just some dude. We all joked that our professor found him somewhere on the subway.
