a photo by Sultry on Flickr.

When I saw this picture I thought of the MIT Press proposal form for new authors. The form I felt put pressure on the author to think about how to market and promote their book instead of just focusing on the content of their book. I think this picture shows the process writers now have to go through to get their book published. The circles representing the various types of media and marketing platforms and issues they have to consider so that their book can be published and become successful.
