What Goes On in There?

Ever wonder what in the world goes on at a publishing house as potential best-sellers are created or discarded in a single vote?
My agent, Rachelle Gardner, has an excellent post on what goes on in a publishing house as the decision is made whether to buy an author's manuscript or not.

It's all about what will sell. Period. So don't lose heart if you're still trying to peddle your manuscript to resistant editors. Sometimes it's a matter of the wrong book at the wrong time, or the right book and the wrong time, or the wrong book at the right time!
