Book Business Magazine has a nice piece in the current issue about a small press called Dzanc Books. I think the article is a very good example of how publishing can survive, maybe even thrive as opposed to what is happening in general out there now. Yes, they are non-profit, but they certainly don't intend to lose money I'm sure.
A couple of points jumped out at me. First, they choose books because they like them, then the figure out how to sell them. The other is for those of you who write fiction, pay attention to the comment about literary journals.
