cernovich just re-tweeted about book publishing.
he has over 1M followers.
great time to jump in and post
regarding book deals and money laundering.
so normies may find out about obama, biden, hillary, etc.,
book deals and how the stolen money gets funneled.
all the Q crumbs regarding bbok deals as vehicles to launder.
one person has already chimed in just regarding laundering specifically, no one yet regarding all we dug on way back.
dig into your old saved shit and memes.
seems like things are coming to light and this may be a great vehicle to drop some shit.

DOJ vs PRH: the key questions of the trial • Barnes & Noble focuses on profitable backlist, creating concern for new titles • Author spotlight: Meg Medina must change gears like her fictional character

THE HOT LIST
Business Inteligence for career athors since 2015
Hello, dear readers!
I remember the heyday of Barnes & Noble, when its powerful buyers were treated like near gods. Achieving support from the country’s dominant bookselling chain could turn a book from a loss leader into a profit maker.
Yet at the same time, Barnes & Noble was often perceived as a villain, crushing the indies and corporatizing bookselling. The American Booksellers Association attempted to sue it for antitrust violations. (The ABA dropped its suit in exchange for a $4.7 million payment.)
Oh, how things have changed. We all know about Amazon and how Barnes & Noble struggled in the 2010s to respond effectively. It pivoted and changed CEOs frequently; once it even debuted a concept store with a restaurant selling wine and beer. Along the way, book sales fell precipitously, and the chain was sold to a hedge fund in 2019.
Now under the leadership of James Daunt, Barnes & Noble has put power back into the hands of its local booksellers and stopped accepting payments from publishers for display. And it’s also focusing on what it can most reliably sell: backlist by proven authors.
In this issue I take a closer look at Barnes & Noble’s recent policy changes that have upset the publishing community. I also speak with children’s author Meg Medina, whose new hardcover release won’t be stocked by Barnes & Noble.
Also in this issue: A final summary of testimony in the DOJ-PRH antitrust trial.

$250K advances and above (“anticipated top-selling books”): This is where the government has focused its attention and has tried to argue harm to authors. For advances exceeding this amount, the advance isn’t expected to earn out; agents consider an advance that didn’t earn out as a sign they negotiated well.
DOJ vs PRH: The Key Questions of the Trial
While the case hinges on how the merger may affect a mere 1,200 authors earning advances over $250K, information presented during testimony offers rare insights for all authors
When we sent our last update on the trial in mid-August, there was more than a full week of testimony left to go. A good deal of it was number crunching by two economists—Dr. Nicholas Hill, hired by the government, and Dr. Edward Snyder, hired by the defense. This is where the rubber was supposed to hit the road in terms of proving/disproving harm to authors and arguing the legal merits of the case. As you can imagine, the two economists disagreed with one another on just about everything. And it was not all that easy to follow the numbers. Even the judge admitted she didn’t understand the economic modeling all that well. But at a high level, here are the key questions that the numbers were supposed to answer.
Do different advance levels represent different markets? The government had to prove during the trial that anticipated top-selling books are treated differently by publishers and that market harm will occur to authors of such books should PRH buy Simon & Schuster. The defense tried to prove this is an artificial designation and ultimately meaningless to market competition. However, as the trial unfolded, the idea that there are different categories of books with different sales expectations and publisher support only seemed to be reinforced. In fact, it seemed that differing business models emerged for the author and publisher alike when evaluating these deals.
$250K advances and above (“anticipated top-selling books”): This is where the government has focused its attention and has tried to argue harm to authors. For advances exceeding this amount, the advance isn’t expected to earn out; agents consider an advance that didn’t earn out as a sign they negotiated well. Unless the book tanks, the publisher can still earn a profit. If it is a gigantic hit, then gigantic profits ensue. PRH’s CEO in the US, Madeline McIntosh, said in her testimony, “We can feel that we’re [in] comfortable, profitable territory at around 70 percent of [advance] earnout for most books.” In a set of deals evaluated at the trial, more than 15 publishers were bidding against PRH and S&S for books in this category. However, 75 percent of non–Big Five publishers never won a book for more than $175K, and only one won a book above $225K. Overall, non–Big Five publishers capture less than 10 percent of these big deals. (That said, elsewhere in the trial it was mentioned that 20 different publishers have paid advances of $1 million or more at least once.)
Between $50K and $250K: The trial indicated that Big Five publishers and those they compete against commonly pay this amount for books they have good feelings about—what we might call an “opportunity” book if early readers and/or the publisher start to rally around it. If such a book becomes a bestseller, it becomes very profitable for the publisher (and helps keep them in business), and the author is likely to earn out the advance. On the next deal, the author/agent presumably has leverage to negotiate a much higher advance. (Of the non–Big Five publishers, most are bidding at the lower end of a $100K–$250K range.)
Below $50K: This is where most of the non–Big Five deals happen. The defense (the publishers) admitted this is the level at which “enhanced services” (marketing) fall off. During the trial, a couple of depressing statistics were shared: of the 58,000 trade titles published per year, fully half of those titles “sell fewer than one dozen books.” (Not a typo, that’s one dozen.) More broadly, 90 percent of titles sell fewer than 2,000 units. Even a small advance of a few thousand dollars would not earn out at standard royalty rates.

https://www.retaildive.com/news/ryan-cohen-exits-activist-stake-bed-bath-beyond/629982/
On taking a stake, Cohen — who founded the online pet retailer Chewy and has taken on the chairman role at GameStop after launching an activist investor campaign at that company — called the retailer’s turnaround strategy “scattershot.”
In mid-August, shareholder activist Ryan Cohen, the billionaire co-founder of online pet-products retailer Chewy Inc., sold his shares in Bed Bath & Beyond after taking on a 10% stake just months before and pledging to make big changes.
