What's News
HarperCollins no longer to accept returns from retailers ... no advances paid to authors.
As reported in the Wall Street Journal, marking a radical departure from traditional book-publishing practices, HarperCollins Publishers says it will launch a new book imprint that won't accept returns from retailers and will pay little or no advances to authors.
This further erodes the differences between traditional publishing and small, indie presses like Elderberry. The distinctions are blurring so fast the mind boggles. Inquiring minds want to know: Will HarperCollins now be branded a vanity press?

To those of us in the business this is no surprise, but to new writers, the ugly realities of the publishing business can be discouraging.Raven Okeefe joins Elderberry as cover artist
