I had a general question.
Lets say you write your book, get it signed with a small press, and the book is a hit.
Can a small press handle the print/distribution burdens of a runaway hit?
In this event do they sell up and hand off to a bigger house?
And what would constitute a runaway hit as far as small presses are concerned and is there ever a point where it becomes too much for them to handle?
In this event, are you at a disadvantage as a writer for not being with a bigger press?
Lastly, any comments, anecedotes, and ponderings on this or related subject would be useful.
thanks for your time
