The book discusses the intricacies involved in publishing, focusing on mutual responsibilities and the importance of cooperation between authors and publishers for successful literary ventures.  The opening of this volume introduces the fundamental aspects of the relationships between authors and publishers, highlighting the essential nature of mutual trust and understanding in this often complex interaction. Orcutt emphasizes that while both parties aim for success, misunderstandings can arise due to differences in business acumen, especially since many authors are not well-versed in the intricacies of the publishing industry. He also touches on the role of literary agents and the significance of contracts, underscoring the evolving nature of publishing rights, particularly in light of new media such as film adaptations. Throughout this portion, Orcutt lays the groundwork for a deeper exploration of the practicalities and legalities that govern literary creation and distribution.
