“Independent book publishing is the Russian Tao”: publisher Sergei Dedovich answers stupid questions
D.R. There are manuscripts - the editorial offices are simply overwhelmed with them. But they often end up in print not for the quality of the text, but for the size of the author’s audience, marketing potential and circulation.
