Q.
What are the advantages of sticking with one publisher—as opposed
to shopping around?
A. Actually there are pros and cons with either
alternative. The first consideration is whether or not the publisher
for one book will be interested if you send them a book on another
topic or on a different genre. If not, then you will have to go
elsewhere to find another publisher who does the kind of book you
have to offer. If you are not happy with the contract or the way you
are treated by one publisher, you may decide to look elsewhere. On
the other hand, if you have no complaints about the old publisher and
they publish what you are offering, then there may be no reason to go
to a different publisher. One possible distinct advantage, is that if
you are producing a number of books for one publisher, often they
will raise the amount of the advance and the royalties with the
addition of each new book. Of course, if you ask a publisher, they
will tell you they have invested in your career and have earned your
loyalty.
