I'm a regular follower of Mur Lafferty's I Should Be Writing blog and podcast. Recently she posted this YouTube video from the Digital Marketing team at MacMillan Publishing. Based on my years of professional experience, I can attest that it accurately captures the entire process for how books are made. Enjoy!
As the video states, non-fiction books take far less time to produce than fiction, often because we are only allowed a few weeks to write them (versus decades) and also because we only have time and the staff to copyedit one out of every 18 books, rather than each book 18 times.
