Judge Pan stops Walsh in her tracks by clarifying that hoping for bestsellers and expecting bestsellers are different, and the questions here are about expectations, NOT hopes. #DOJvPRH

Walsh says, in discussing the work publishers put into each book, says it’s not as if some authors get paper plates and others get fine China. #DOJvPRH

BUT THEN she tells us that different authors have different needs. Some authors, e.g., need first-class air travel

Do those flights use paper plates?

I am getting a little confused about Walsh’s “dial” analogy, the dial being something agents use to ratchet up interest in a title? I promise to figure this out. #DOJvPRH #TURNITUPTOELEVEN
