Author Helen DeWitt's Publishing Strategy

... didn't exactly pan out.

An interesting post I just came across, wherein Helen DeWitt talks about her strategy of wanting to put out her second book first, because she thought it would be easier, for all sorts of publishing reasons. I think it's safe to say many first-time authors don't have this kind of long-term thinking in mind. They just want their book out there.
