To anyone who thought that running a small press is all about reading, editing, and creating cool books, I have just one thing to say: I spent more than nine hours today submerged in year-end accounting and tax returns. On the other hand, tax forms are going out to authors (and the IRS) tomorrow, sales tax has been filed, Q4 2008 royalty statements have been prepared, Schedule C is ready to go to the accountant, and not only did I manage to close out 2008, but I also got 2009 all set up, meaning I can spend the next three days submerging myself in that editing thing :)
