Quote:Plus I want it published using 80 gsm gloss paper. Plus the book doesn’t need anecdotes to spice it up. She’s already hot and spicy.
80gsm is photocopier-weight paper - you'll have horrendous problems with show-through (not sure I've ever seen 80gsm glossy but I suppose it must exist). Besides, glossy paper shows grease marks if you are eating a buttie whilst reading. Think laterally and fit the book to the format and not vice versa - it has never failed for me. Also worth asking what sort of market reach this publisher has in comparison to P&S - if it's something like BAR then you run the risk of condemning yourself to an academic hinterland (been there, done it, got the teeshirt).
