    • Abstract:
      In this article, the author discusses what readers lose when publishers put all of their resources behind would-be bestsellers. It mentions that most large publishers stopped giving midlist writers advances large enough to last more than a few month as the publishing industry faltered in the wake of the internet. It also mentions that midlist books often take greater risks, inventing new forms, revealing unique ways of seeing.
