Thank you Kate! This sounds so much like my 20 years in fundraising and reporting on gifts. Most are commitments not cash in hands. We always reported out about three or four months behind, too. The more I learn about publishing, the more I see there are so many industry parallels.
What percentage would be considered "low" returns? If my book sold 5,000 copies and 500 were returned, is this considered low? Thanks!
Feel better.
