I have a question about the German publishing industry. I've been talking to a friend of mine who is German and writes in German. She seems to think that her only option in Germany is what we would call self-publishing, i.e. paying an initial amount to have the book published and IF it makes money she recoups her initial payment.
None of the other Germans I know, know about publishing in their country (they're not writers). One guy assumed that people would have to pay the publisher to have a book published, but I don't think he has any experience in the area.
Can anyone help with any information on this?
(And if this is in the wrong forum, would a mod mind moving it to somewhere more appropriate please?)
