Publishing Terms Defined

Ever wondered what ARCs from BEA are? Jessica at Bookends LLC has written a publishing glossary  and posted it on the Bookends' blog, which you might want to check out.

For a less helpful but more amusing glossary of publishing terms, I suggest you check out Tom's Glossary of Publishing Terms on Righreading.com. For example: ADVANCE: A secret code signaling to the marketing department whether or not to promote a title.
