They continue to get a regular income and not a bad one at that. But I agree it's not much of an option for newbies. What I find incredible though is that the very first book publisher I was contracted by has only ONE staff member left that I know. Granted it's a 20 year span, but where have they gone? The company itself has changed too and was bought out by Randome House. So not too shoddy!
