Let's see....
-$100,000 is a "fairly small advance"
-the executives can't remember if 3 or 4 payments are normal for advances, but some big authors get 2 payments (John Green replied on twitter to say he is not considered a "big author")
-Colleen Hoover hired her own publicist and PRH is pleased because it means they don't have to pay for marketing
-executive called publishing the "Silicon Valley of media"
-executive acted like he had no idea what midlist was,
-executive completely misrepresented marketing and how it works

Oh… oh dear… I’ll let yal know when I get my ‘small advance.’
