A Book Publishing Glossary Worth A Second Look

Each industry has specific terms that take awhile to become accustomed to and publishing is no exception to the rule. Even after nearly a decade in the publishing business, I often find myself looking up terms that I forgot, or trying to figure out a new term I haven't heard before. Just the process of printing and binding the book involves words you don't hear every day, "offset, underrun, galley, saddle stitching, and web press", to name a few

As a new author, it can leave your head spinning. I'm always on the search for a bigger and better publishing glossary and resources I can share with our authors. Tonight, I came across one in the strangest of places, on the BookJobs.com website. Hop on over to their "About Publishing: Commonly Used Terms" page and you might just learn a thing or two.
