Go, Read: Massive Sarah McIntyre Post On Publishers/Creators

The cartoonist Sarah McIntyre has a lengthy livejournal (!) post here on a very recent panel in which she participated on the relationship between publishers and creators. I would imagine that there is a ton of stuff that a lot of creators, particularly young ones, might glean from it. It's entertainingly written with a lot of photos of hats in it even if it's of no use to you at all.

There's also a pretty good exchange in the comments section about the idea of publishing not-great material that's sort of a tie in that it's easy to see the truth to each side. I do sort of think that that there have to be ways to publish material that's not as engaged as one's best work might be so that it helps the creator and even deepens their relationship with a readership.
