His posts in Zoetrope private groups are so interesting. He has forgotten more about the publishing biz than I'll ever learn. Really enjoyed your dirty secret list, Jane. I think a bracing book (as one commenter called it) would do well, especially if such book talked about your role at WD and your existential crises. Maybe you could have a chapter about writers getting excited to be published in non-paying journals. Sometimes I lose track of how most non-writers feel about that "phenomenon." I get confused looks from my friends who find out I write short stories and bother submitting to non-paying journals. Actually, my friends are nowhere near as incredulous as my Grandma.
