Secrets of Publishing -- Revealed!

The Penguin Blog has been featuring the Ace/Roc line this week, with extensive blogging by Associate Editor Jessica Wade. She's interviewed all of the editorial folks -- whom you folks might have heard of -- and other interesting folks like the Publicity Director.

It's not quite a full education in the workings of American publishing, but it's close.
