From
Publishers MarketplaceSome interesting figures re: publishing deals made so far in 2011. Note especially the number of Children's and Nonfiction deals and the correlating number of six-figure deals. Children's and Nonfiction seem to be the hot tickets. Also of note--Women's fiction/Romance leads the way in sales. Another tip of the hat to Jane Eyre, huh?
