Feature and Follow: Publishing Industry

WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED FROM BOOK BLOGGING THAT YOU DIDN'T KNOW BEFORE ABOUT THE PUBLISHING INDUSTRY?

Mmmm... Well I don't know a lot about the publishing industry other then there are a lot more steps to making a book then I expected, and that authors don't have as much power over things like covers as I once thought  which I find it weird it's light giving birth to a baby and not being able to take some of the important choices like what the baby's name will be.
Another thing I found out is that for as much or little of the publishing industry that I know I respect those that are working in it, those that design the webpages, book covers and book trailers. The authors that write the awesome books we love and care for, their editors that work along side them, and everyone else that works behind the scenes.

I know there is still a lot to learn about the book blogging world and the publishing industry but I am trying to find my way.
