Just how do publishing houses and authors deal with each other? Well, it depends, really. Book publishers deal with authors depending on the perceived salability of the manuscripts produced or on the success of prior published works. The bargaining power of both sides will depend on mostly the same factors when they negotiate deals. Some book publishing firms have a stable of authors and artists who produce commissioned works, though this business model is not as popular as it used to be. Editorial control is an area that widely varies between firms, with some demanding authors get published in a ‘house’ style, and others allowing the authors full control.
