Well known author returns the advance
You are the CEO of a publishing house. Your organization gave an advance of $200K to a well known author for writing a book.
The author completes the manuscript and submits for publishing. You like the draft but would prefer to publish a shorter version only.
You request the author to cut the number of pages to half since larger volume are not popular. The author refuses to oblige and offers to return the adance.
As a publisher, what will you do?
