I'm conducting a bit of formal research for a future blog post. I have a question
from a writer that goes something like this:

I'd like to know what happened in 2009-2010 in the
publishing world. I've heard some amazing things (30% of employees laid off, advances
down 50%, sales down), and I'd like to know what's true and what's not.

I've done some of my own research through sources like Publishers
Marketplace, Publishers Weekly, Bowker,
and BISG, but it would certainly help to get a
swath of active editors and agents to be specific about what they see happening on
the ground.



I've created a survey for agents and editors that is completely anonymous and
only 6 questions. Let's help writers understand what exactly IS happening from an
acquisitions standpoint.
